MOOSIC, Pa. (June 5, 2021) – The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders fell to the Lehigh Valley IronPigs 9-6 on Saturday afternoon at PNC Field.

The IronPigs struck first in the top of the second against Brody Koerner, plating a pair of runs to take a 2-0 lead. In the bottom of the second, Andrew Velazquez brought in a run with an RBI single against David Parkinson to get the RailRiders on the board.

Lehigh Valley struck back in the top of the third with four runs on five hits against Koerner, but SWB answered again. After an Estevan Florial single and a double by Greg Allen, Hoy Park slammed a three-run home run to left field to cut the IronPigs lead down to 6-4.

Park’s long ball was his fourth home run of the season with SWB in 14 games, surpassing his total from the entire 2019 season (three in 113 games with Double-A Trenton). His career-high for homers in a season is seven during the 2017 campaign.

Koerner (1-2) allowed another run in the fourth, but pitched much better than his final line indicates. Overall, the right-hander allowed a season-high seven runs on 10 hits, walking one and striking out five.

Adam Warren allowed a pair of runs in the top of the seventh, but Trey Amburgey lined a two-run single to center in the bottom of the seventh to narrow the gap to 9-6. However, that was the best opportunity the RailRiders had as the IronPigs retired the final seven SWB hitters.

Amburgey finished the game 2-for-4 with a run and two RBIs, and has extended his season-long hitting streak to 12 games, the longest by a SWB batter this season. Florial went 1-for-4 with two runs scored and a walk to extend his on-base streak to 12 consecutive games.

The RailRiders complete their series with the IronPigs Sunday afternoon at PNC Field. RHP Nick Green (0-1, 5.94) gets the start for SWB, while Lehigh Valley counters with LHP Cristopher Sanchez (1-1, 3.74). First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. For tickets and more information, call (570) 969-BALL or slide to www.swbrailriders.com/tickets.
