Rochester, N.Y. \u2014 Sometimes, victory comes because you take advantage of the other side\u2019s mistakes. So it was on Thursday night, when the Rochester Red Wings (39-27 in the second half, 84-55 overall) used walks and errors by the Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (37-27 in the second half, 74-64 overall) to tally up five runs in the fifth en route to a 7-3 victory that again put them in first place in the International League second half playoff race, all while starting pitcher Isaac Lyon continued his effective young stint in AAA.<\/p>\n
\u201c[Lyon] gave us a shot, and then we took advantage of two errors,\u201d said Red Wings manager Matt LeCroy, summing up the game. \u201cIt was a good ballgame for us, a big bounce back after last night.\u201d<\/p>\n
After having been frustrated by Scranton right-hander Elmer Rodriguez the first four innings of the game, the Red Wings started the fifth with Max Romero Jr. and Liover Peguero each drawing a walk. Center fielder Sam Peterson came up and laid down a sacrifice bunt, aiming to move both runners up. He succeeded and then some, as Scranton third baseman Max Schumann sent the throw wild to first, allowing Petersen to reach safely and bringing Romero around to score to give the Red Wings a 1-0 lead.
