MOOSIC, PA (September 13, 2024) – The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders defeated the Lehigh Valley IronPigs 6-5 Friday night at PNC Field with a bases-loaded walk-off free pass in the eleventh inning.

Box Score

Scott Kingery led off the game with a solo homer to left off Scranton/Wilkes-Barre starter Tom Pannone for a 1-0 IronPigs advantage.

The RailRiders, playing as the Vejigantes for Copa de la Diversión, jumped ahead in the third. With a runner aboard, Jahmai Jones drilled a two-run shot to left 409 feet, putting Scranton/Wilkes-Barre up 2-1.

Lehigh Valley regained the lead in the sixth. Jim Haley drove in a pair with a double to left and Carlos De La Cruz hit an RBI single, making it 4-2.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre pulled within one in the eighth. After Oscar Gonzalez doubled, Jones singled for his third RBI of the game to make it 4-3. The RailRiders worked the bases loaded but an inning-ending double play kept Lehigh Valley ahead.

Down a run in the ninth, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre tied it up to send the game to extras. Taylor Trammell worked a walk to lead off. Cam Eden came in to pinch run and stole second, advancing to third on an errant throw. After Carlos Narvaez walked, Greg Allen pinch-ran and stole second. An RBI base hit from Oscar Gonzalez tied the contest at four.

Allen’s ninth-inning steal was the 224th of the season for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and set a new modern-era International League stolen base record, surpassing Omaha’s tally of 223 in 2023.

After a scoreless tenth, Carlos De La Cruz singled home Jared Thomas in the top of the eleventh to give the IronPigs a 5-4 lead.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre won the game in the home half of the frame. JC Escarra singled to lead off. A sacrifice fly off the bat of Oscar Gonzalez knotted the game at five. With two outs, Yankees #16 Prospect Jorbit Vivas singled and Caleb Durbin was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Ben Rice then worked a free pass to plate Escarra and walk off the IronPigs, winning the game 6-5.

Pannone pitched 5.2 innings, allowing four runs on five hits.
