After Eddy Rodriguez flew out to center, Tyler Wade would single, Clint Frazier was hit by a pitch. Dustin Fowler struck out but reached because of a wild pitch.

Lail would get Quinn to strikeout and Pedro Florimon to fly out to left to end the Top of the fourth. Mark Payton would hit an infield single then stole second on the next batter but Leiter retired the next three batters by striking them all out. Jorge Alfaro led off with a home run to right center field to make 7-5 Railriders. Following a ground out, Rhys Hoskins singled to center and the Railriders replaced Lail with Tyler Webb on the mound. Webb got Nick Williams to strike out but Jesmuel Valentin would double to right to score Hoskins and the lead for the Railriders was only one at 7-6.

Ruben Tejada then drew a walk. Solano and Tejada would score on a double by Eddy Rodridguez to make it 10-6 Railriders. Mariot struck out Wade to end the eighth. Ernesto Frieri came in to pitch for the Railriders in a non-save situation. Frieri threw a 1-2-3 9th to give the Railriders the victory 10-6 over Lehigh Valley.
Thoughts on the game: It was very much a up and down game on both sides. The Railriders built up a big 7-0 lead only to have it cut down to 7-6 relatively quickly. Tyler Wade and Mark Payton had great games for the Railriders. Jesmuel Valentin had a great game for the IronPigs, going 2 for 4.
Up Next: The Railriders conclude their four game series with Lehigh Valley. The Railriders starter is still to be determined with Johnny Barbato DFA. The IronPigs will go with Ricardo Pinto.
News: Johnny Barbato was designated for assignment as the Yankees called up Jordan Montgomery and added him to their 40 man roster.
