The Pigs will send right-hander
The IronPigs (1-1) stranded nine runners on base and fell 4-2, as the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (1-1) evened the series Friday night at Coca-Cola Park.
The RailRiders jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning off Pigs starter
Trailing 3-0 in the bottom of the frame, the Pigs bats came to life. Four-consecutive hits led to two runs for the Pigs with just one out in the frame.
Unfortunately for the Pigs that is as close as they would come, as with just one out in the frame, the Pigs stranded the bases loaded to end their threat.
The Pigs again failed to score with runners in scoring position in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings.
On the night, the Pigs went 2-for-10 with runners in scoring position.
Angelo Mora had a 3-for-4 night with an RBI and is now hitting .625 in the first two games of the postseason.
