*MOOSIC, Pa. (August 6, 2021) *–For the second straight night, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders fell to the Worcester Red Sox in 11 innings, this time by a 4-3 final score.

MLB rehabber Luke Voit went 2-for-5 with an RBI in the fourth game of his stint, playing nine innings at first base.

Recalled from High-A Hudson Valley to make his second Triple-A start of the season, left-hander Josh Maciejewski turned in a solid outing for the RailRiders. He scattered eight hits and allowed only two runs in 5.0 innings, walking two and striking out two.

The Red Sox struck against him with a two-out rally in the fourth. Jett Bandy doubled and scored on a Tate Matheny single. Matheny scored three batters later on a Yairo Munoz base hit to run the Worcester lead to 2-0.

The RailRiders threatened against WooSox pitchers Kyle Hart and John Schreiber, but could not score until Thomas Milone cracked a solo home run in the seventh inning off Marcus Walden to cut the deficit to 2-1. The blast was Milone’s fourth round-tripper of the season.

Reggie McClain (2.0 IP), Brooks Kriske (1.0 IP), and Braden Bristo (1.0 IP) combined for four scoreless innings of relief to keep Worcester off the board.

In the bottom of the ninth, Milone drew a two-out walk against Walden to bring up Voit representing the winning run. He hit a high fly to center field that fell in for a base hit and Milone came all the way in to score, evading Bandy’s tag at home to draw even at 2-2.

For the second straight day, the RailRiders and Red Sox went to extra innings, and in the top of the 10th, Worcester scored a run on a Jeremy Rivera RBI single against Bristo to take a 3-2 lead. After an intentional walk and a hit batsmen loaded the bases with two outs, infielder Brandon Wagner was called on to pitch and recorded the final out of the frame.

In the bottom of the 10th Scranton/Wilkes-Barre advanced automatic runner Estevan Florial to third, and Ryan LaMarre followed with a double to center to tie the game.

However, in the top of the 11th the Red Sox scored a run off Wagner (0-1) on a Joey Meneses sacrifice fly to take a 4-3 lead. The RailRiders loaded the bases in the bottom of the frame, but did not score as Matt Hall struck out three batters to earn his first save of the season.

POSTGAME NOTES: At four hours and 19 minutes to play, this was the longest game of the season played by Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

SWB continues its series with Worcester on Saturday night. First pitch is scheduled for 6:05 p.m. The WooSox send MLB rehabber and 7-time American League All-Star Chris Sale (1-0, 1.80) to the mound.
