Bisons drop series opener 6-1 to RailRiders

The Bisons returned from the All-Star break falling to the RailRiders 6-1 Thursday night at Coca-Cola Field.
The RailRiders got things going early jumping out to a 2-0 lead in the second. Buffalo's starter T.J. House allowed a single and back-to-back walks to load the bases in the inning. The RailRiders capitalized with Mark Payton and Jonathan Diaz each delivering a sacrifice fly for the two-run advantage.
House made his 17^th start for the Herd. Through six innings, he allowed five runs on seven hits and also walked four batters. House was charged with the loss giving him a 6-9 record this year.

Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre scratched across another pair of runs in the third with a RBI double and a fielder's choice to go up 4-0 on the Herd.
Miguel Andújar's third home run of the season came in the fifth inning. The solo shot to left added to the RailRiders lead making it 5-0.
Roemon Fields made a tremendous diving catch in the sixth.

"Diaz played with us before, I know him pretty well so I kind of knew he would try and turn on it so I played in a little bit and it just came out right," Fields said
Buffalo's lone run came in the seventh off the bat of Jon Berti. Berti got ahold of a pitch that just snuck over the wall in left for his first blast of the season.
