MOOSIC, PA (August 3, 2022) –The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (52-49) evened the series against the Buffalo Bisons with a 5-2 win on Wednesday night. Tyler Wade reached base three times and hit his first RailRiders home run since 2019.

The Bisons mustered a run in the top of the seventh to make it 5-2. Greg Weissert entered the ballgame with one out in the eighth with the tying run at the plate. The RailRiders’ closer got two quick outs to end the threat.

Shane Greene (2-1) pitched two innings of relief for the win. Bowden Francis (5-8) took the loss after a three-inning start. Weissert tallied his 14th save of the season and pushed his scoreless streak to 19 games and 19.0 innings.
