Syracuse Erupts For Four In The 10th To Top RailRiders

Syracuse pulled away in extras for a 6-2 win at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, breaking a tie with a four-run 10th inning. Christian Arroyo led the way at 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI, delivering both the tying hit in the eighth and the go-ahead double in the 10th. Eric Wagaman went 2-for-4 with a double and a walk, and Yonny Hernández added a 2-for-5 night with an RBI. Jihwan Bae singled, walked twice, drove in a run, and stole a base.

Xzavion Curry made the start and worked five innings, allowing two runs on six hits with three strikeouts and no walks. Dylan Ross handled the final two innings, striking out three and walking one without allowing a hit to pick up the win and improve to 2-0. The decisive stretch began in the eighth, when Arroyo singled in Bae to even the score at 2. After Curry surrendered a two-run home run in the second, Bae had pulled Syracuse within one in the third by singling home Jackson Cluff. In the 10th, zombie runner Matt Rudick scored on a Nick Morabito single, Arroyo doubled in Morabito, a Wagaman walk and a wild pitch brought home Ryan Clifford, and Hernández singled in Arroyo. Syracuse stranded eight runners and collected 11 hits without an error.

Rumble Ponies Routed At Somerset

Binghamton dropped a 12-3 decision at Somerset, undone by two big innings from the home club. Nick Lorusso led the offense at 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two RBI. Chris Suero went 2-for-3 with two walks and a run, working the leadoff spot, and Jose Ramos went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI, and a walk.

Starter Jordan Geber struggled with command, allowing four runs on three hits and three walks across 1 2/3 innings with four strikeouts and a home run to take the loss and fall to 1-4. The damage piled up early. Somerset put up four runs in the second inning, capped by a grand slam, then broke things open with four more in the fifth on a string of three singles and a two-run double.

Binghamton's first run came in the sixth when Lorusso connected for a solo shot to left, and the visitors plated two more in the seventh on Ramos' RBI double, which scored Diego Mosquera, and Lorusso's run-scoring single. Felipe De La Cruz and Jefry Yan combined for four innings of relief work, with Yan striking out two without allowing an earned run. Brian Metoyer absorbed five hits and four runs across 1 1/3 innings. Binghamton stranded 10 runners and committed one error.

Cyclones Blanked At Rome In Tight Pitcher's Duel

Brooklyn was shut out 1-0 at Rome, managing just three hits and striking out 13 times without drawing a walk. Leadoff hitter Mitch Voit went 1-for-4 with a double, Sam Biller added a 1-for-3 night with a double, and John Bay singled to account for the Cyclones' three hits.

Brooklyn pitching surrendered just two hits across eight innings and combined for eight strikeouts. Irving Cota was sharp at the start, working three hitless innings with three strikeouts and no walks. Parker Carlson followed and absorbed the loss, charged with the lone run on one hit and three walks across two innings, though the run was unearned. The decisive inning came in the bottom of the fourth. Carlson walked two with one out, and a groundout to second plated the eventual game-winning run for Rome. Cristofer Gomez settled the game with 1 1/3 innings of one-hit relief and three strikeouts, and Garrett Stratton finished with 1 2/3 hitless innings and one strikeout. Brooklyn left three runners on base and committed one error, which proved costly in the only inning Rome reached the scoreboard. The Cyclones never advanced a runner past second.

St. Lucie Holds Off Jupiter Behind Guzman And Meggers

St. Lucie outlasted Jupiter 7-6 thanks to a five-run first and two more in the fifth. Randy Guzman went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, three RBI, and a run scored, and Chase Meggers went 2-for-4 with three RBI on a pair of two-run singles. AJ Salgado added a 2-for-4 effort, leadoff hitter Elian Peña reached three times with a hit, a walk, and a run, and cleanup hitter Julio Zayas walked twice and scored twice.

Starter Jose Chirinos worked 5 2/3 innings, allowing four runs, three earned, on six hits with two strikeouts and no walks to pick up the win and move to 2-1. The first inning broke the game open. Peña singled, JT Benson walked, and Guzman launched a three-run shot to left field. After Salgado singled, Sam Robertson reached, and Meggers cleared the bases with a two-run single to put St. Lucie up 5-0. Jupiter clawed back with three in the third on a sacrifice fly and a two-run homer, but Robertson reached on a fielder's choice in the fifth to score Zayas, and Meggers brought home Salgado for a 7-3 cushion. Jupiter pushed three more across in the sixth, including two on a single deflected by Peña, before Christian Rodriguez closed it out with a perfect ninth for his second save. St. Lucie left seven on base.
