ROCHESTER, NY (July 26, 2022) –The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (46-48) defeated the Rochester Red Wings 12-5 on Tuesday night. SWB came within one hit of tying a season-high with 18 total hits in the game.

The RailRiders jumped out in front in the second inning. Ronald Guzmán and Armando Alvarez traded doubles to take a 1-0 lead. That lead would grow by three in the top of the third. Oswald Peraza hit a high home run that banged off the left field foul flag. It put him in sole possession for the team lead with 13 home runs. Ben Rortvedt followed suit with a two-run shot of his own. Rortvedt had been 2-for-22 in his rehab stint with Hudson Valley and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre prior to that homer, making it 4-0 SWB.

The Red Wings responded with a two-run Joey Meneses homer in the bottom of the third. The RailRiders bounced back with a six-run, six-hit, eleven batter top of the fourth. It matched a season-high for runs scored in an inning, something they’ve done twice against the Syracuse Mets. Rochester responded with a pair of runs in the bottom of the fourth and a lone run in the fifth.

The RailRiders rode José Mujica for three and a third innings, the longest outing for any pitcher in the game. Mujica settled the game down, being charged with one run. SWB put up 12 runs on 18 hits in the series opener against the Red Wings. Every RailRider had a hit with seven of the nine starters tallying a run batted in.

Mujica (2-1) earned the win with Rochester starter Franklyn Kilome (1-1) taking his first loss. SWB moves back within two games of .500 at 46-48. SWB sends JP Sears (1-1, 1.83) to the mound for game two on Tuesday night at 6:05 PM. All the action can be heard on the RailRiders Baseball Network.
