Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (34-14): Scranton dropped the completion of yesterday’s suspended game in Worcester 6-2. The rain cut short the night’s regularly scheduled matchup as well, but this time the RailRiders emerged victorious, 1-0.

Game 1

• Star of the Game: Hoy Jun Park – 2-for-5, 1 home run (8), 1 RBI, 1 run scored, 2 strikeouts. After slugging .628 in June, Park picked up right where he left off
• Estevan Florial: 1-for-4, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts
• Ryan LaMarre: 2-for-4, 1 walk, 1 strikeout
• Armando Alvarez: 1-for-3, 1 double, 1 walk, 1 strikeout

• Deivi García: 4 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 0 BB, 7 K, 79 pitches (47 strikes). It’s going to take awhile for Deivi to work his way back from the disaster that’s been this year. Thursday was a good starting point; at least the strikeouts were there
• Braden Bristo: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 21 pitches (11 strikes)
• Brooks Kriske: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, 5 pitches (5 strikes)

Somerset Patriots (32-17): Somerset was set to play two seven-inning games; the first one required nine innings for the Patriots to pull out a 4-3 win over Harrisburg, and the second was canned as another wave of rain blew through. The two teams will try out the twin bill again tomorrow.

• Star of the Game: Ken Waldichuk – 5 IP, 3 H, 3 R (1 ER), 3 BB, 8 K, 83 pitches (48 strikes). Waldichuk didn’t have pinpoint command in this one, but still overwhelmed the Senators to the tune of eight strikeouts and has now racked up 25 in three Double-A starts
• Diego Castillo: 1-for-5, 1 double, 1 RBI, 1 run scored, 1 strikeout. Castillo has recorded an extra-base hit in eight of his last 10 games
• Oswald Peraza: 0-for-4, 2 strikeouts. Peraza has fallen on some hard times. He’s 1 for his last 16
• Jason Lopez: 1-for-3, 1 RBI, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts
• Isiah Gilliam: 1-for-2, 1 RBI, 1 run scored, 2 walks, 1 strikeout

Tampa Tarpons (33-15): Tampa prevailed easily in game 1 of the Battle of the Fish 8-1. The Tarpons and Hammerheads were supposed to play a second game, but that one was suspended in the bottom of the first inning with no score.

• Star of the Game: Anthony Volpe – 2-for-3, 1 home run (10), 4 RBI, 1 run scored, 1 walk, 1 strikeout. Volpe’s 10th of the year was a grand slam and the centerpiece of a seven-run fourth inning
• Trevor Hauver: 3-for-3, 1 double, 1 RBI, 1 run scored, 1 walk
• Carlos Narvaez: 2-for-2, 1 RBI, 1 run scored, 1 walk
• Yoendrys Gómez: 2 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 45 pitches (26 strikes). Gómez has shown good swing-and-miss stuff with 13 strikeouts in his 10 innings, but also has walked seven and hit a batter
• Anderson Munoz: 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K, 38 pitches (22 strikes). Munoz picked up his first win in relief
• Trevor Holloway: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K, 27 pitches (19 strikes)
