MOOSIC, PA (September 18, 2026) – The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders topped the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 8-5 Friday night at PNC Field. Three runs in the fourth and five in the fifth boosted the RailRiders to victory behind six shutout frames from Adam Kloffenstein.

BOX SCORE | SWB 8 JAX 5

Jacksonville got on the board first with a run on three hits in the first inning.

The visitors put up a four-spot in the third. They walked the bases loaded off of Yankees #15 prospect Xavier Rivas. A sacrifice fly, RBI double, and RailRiders error made it 5-0 Jumbo Shrimp.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre fought their way back into it in the bottom of the next frame. Marco Luciano walked to reach and Yanquiel Fernández launched his team-leading 27th home run of the season. Duke Ellis singled to reach, stole second, and moved to third on a wild pitch. Connor McGinnis roped an RBI double for his first Triple-A hit to score Ellis and put SWB within two.

In the fifth, the RailRiders batted through the order for five runs. J.C. Escarra singled to reach and raced home on a Luciano double. Fernández earned a walk and Tyler Hardman smoked a three-run homer for a 7-5 advantage. SWB added one more utilizing their speed on the basepaths once again. Corona laid down a bunt single, stole second, and scored on a wild pitch.

Meanwhile, Kloffenstein (W, 5-11), working out of the bullpen, shut down the Jumbo Shrimp. He held the visitors to just three hits in the final six frames. Marlins #5 prospect Karson Milbrandt (L, 0-8) allowed seven runs in four and a third innings.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre continues its series with Jacksonville Saturday night at PNC Field. Alexander Cornielle (5-4) will face southpaw Patrick Monteverde (5-2). First pitch is scheduled for 6:05 P.M. Tickets and promotional details are available at www.swbrailriders.com.
