RailRiders Capture Close Win
The Scranton WB RailRiders picked up a win at PNC Field, dropping the Durham Bulls, 4-3, in 11 innings. Nate Merritt, who leads the IL in quality starts with 15, was the difference-maker. Tony Rodriguez got credit for the win, improving to 4-5. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 4 innings. The RailRiders now have a mark of 46-72.

The defining moment came in the bottom of the 11th for Scranton WB. That's when Jaden Coley hit a run-scoring double off 26-year old right-handed pitcher Zack Eilers to win the game. The home crowd went wild.

"This kind of game is tough on the heart," said winning manager Chris Carley.
