MOOSIC, PA (May 24, 2022) –The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders were blanked by the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 3-0 in the series opener on Tuesday evening. SWB was shut out for the seventh time this season.

Matt Krook made his ninth start of the year for the RailRiders and allowed three runs over five innings with six strikeouts. Jacksonville countered with Bryan Hoeing who threw eight shutout frames with seven punchouts in the longest outing of his career.

The Jumbo Shrimp jumped ahead in the second on a solo home run from Jerar Encarnacion. Two innings later, they notched their second tally on a run-scoring single from JJ Bleday to make it 2-0. Jacksonville entered the series third in the International League in home runs.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s best scoring opportunity of the night came in the fourth. With two outs and no one on, three consecutive RailRiders reached to load the bases. Greg Bird started the rally with a double and is now 9 for his last 23 with a six-game hitting streak. However, José Peraza popped out to third to end the threat.

Jacksonville added an insurance run a half-inning later via Lorenzo Quintana’s eighth long ball of the season. Michael Gomez and Zach Greene combined to throw four scoreless frames out of Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s bullpen to keep the deficit at 3-0.

Bryan Hoeing (3-1) earned his third win for the Jumbo Shrimp. Andrew Nardi picked up his first save with Jacksonville this season. Matt Krook (1-4) suffered the loss for the RailRiders.

The two teams continue their six-game series Wednesday morning at 11:05 AM with the second and final STEM School Day Game of the season. Tickets are available swbrailriders.com.
