The RailRiders put immediate pressure on in the top of the first, loading the bases with a walk and two singles. C Alex Jackson brought home the first run with a sacrifice fly to right.

Scranton/WB put traffic on the bases again in the fifth as SS Andrew Velazquez reached on an infield single and stole second. DH Jesus Rodriguez followed with a triple down the right-field line, bringing Velazquez home to push the lead to four. After a groundout, CF Everson Pereira reached on a fielder’s choice as Rodriguez crossed the plate.
