Box Score

Jose Rojas staked the RailRiders to the lead on the second pitch of the game. Rojas’s 14th home run of the year cleared the 22-foot wall in right, giving the RailRiders a 1-0 edge over Cooper Criswell and the WooSox.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre added to the lead with a steal of home in the third. Andrew Velazquez doubled to lead off the inning and advanced to third on a sac bunt. After a Jesus Rodriguez walk, the duo executed a double steal with Velazquez swiping home for the 2-0 lead.

The RailRiders doubled the lead in the fourth, plating two with two outs. Nicky Lopez singled and scored on a double from Ismael Munguia. Velazquez followed with a run-scoring single to extend the lead to 4-0.

In the fifth, four of the first five Scranton/Wilkes-Barre hitters reached on base hits, keyed by a two-run double from Jeimer Candelario for a 6-0 lead.

Beck worked five no-hit innings, retiring the first ten in a row to set the tone.

Worcester broke up the no-hitter in the bottom of the sixth with a pair of singles.

Everson Pereira launched a 369-foot opposite field home run in the top of the seventh with a runner on to extend the lead to 8-0. The WooSox answered with a two-run home run from Tracye Thompson in the home half of the inning to end the shutout bid.

After Worcester cut the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre lead to five with a run in the eighth, T.J. Rumfield unloaded with his 11th home run of the year with two aboard in the ninth to close the scoring.

Beck (2-0) earned the win and Criswell (3-2) took the loss.

The RailRiders nine-game winning streak is their longest since the 2016 Triple-A National Championship season.
