MOOSIC, PA (September 15, 2026) – The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders defeated the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 6-5 Tuesday night at PNC Field. The RailRiders stole seven bases and drew eight walks, wreaking havoc on the basepaths to take game one from the Jumbo Shrimp.

BOX SCORE | SWB 6 JAX 5

Jacksonville opened the scoring against Yankees #3 Prospect Elmer Rodríguez in the top of the second on a Juan Matheus sacrifice fly for a 1-0 edge.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre responded in the home half of the frame. After Oswaldo Cabrera walked and a pitch hit Max Schuemann, Duke Ellis extended his hitting streak to 12 games, roping a two-run RBI single to left-center for a 2-1 RailRiders lead.

The RailRiders added to the advantage without recording a hit in the bottom of the third. Jasson Domínguez and Marco Luciano walked and completed a double steal to force a throwing error at third to score Domínguez. A wild pitch sent Luciano across, putting Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ahead three.

The Jumbo Shrimp cut into the deficit in the top of the fifth. With inherited runners on the corners, reliever Zach Messinger fired a wild pitch to the backstop, scoring Johnny Olmstead to pull within two.

In the bottom of the seventh, Ellis reached on a forceout, stole second and third, and crossed on a wild pitch for a 5-2 cushion.

Jacksonville narrowed the deficit to two on Brandon Compton’s RBI groundout in the top of the eighth.

SWB earned the run back in the home half on back-to-back doubles from Max Schuemann and Ernesto Martínez Jr., giving the RailRiders a 6-3 lead.

In the top of the ninth and with no one out, the Jumbo Shrimp closed to within one on a Logan Driscoll two-run homer, but RailRiders reliever Chris Kean (S, 1) retired the final three batters to secure the one-run victory.

Despite allowing base runners in every inning pitched, Rodríguez gave up only two runs on three hits in 4.2 innings of work, walking five. Messinger (9-1) earned the win, pitching 2.1 scoreless frames. Zach Brzykcy (4-3) started in a bullpen game for the Jumbo Shrimp, surrendering two runs on two hits in 2.0 innings.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre continues its series with Jacksonville on Wednesday afternoon at PNC Field. Yankees #28 Prospect Brendan Beck (10-2) will face left-hander Luis Palacios (3-2). First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 P.M. Tickets and promotional details are available at www.swbrailriders.com.
