Morabito Homers In Syracuse's 4-1 Loss To Scranton/Wilkes-Barre

The Syracuse Mets fell 4-1 to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders on Wednesday. Nick Morabito provided the only run for Syracuse with a solo home run to center field in the bottom of the eighth inning, his third of the season. Syracuse managed just five hits in the game, stranding 15 runners on base. Ryan Clifford, Cristian Pache, Yonny Hernández, and Vidal Bruján each collected one hit. Syracuse drew three walks but struck out 10 times as a team and could not string together a rally. The RailRiders opened the scoring with a run in the first inning, added a solo home run in the second, and tacked on another run in the seventh before Morabito's eighth-inning homer cut the deficit to 3-1. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre added an unearned run in the ninth on a Ryan Clifford fielding error.

Christian Scott took the loss after starting the game and going 5 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on two hits with one walk and five strikeouts. Scott surrendered one solo home run but was otherwise efficient, throwing 82 pitches. Alex Carrillo followed with 1 2/3 innings, allowing one run on two hits while striking out two. Ryan Lambert tossed a scoreless eighth with two strikeouts, and Joe Jacques pitched the ninth.
