Pinstriped Performances: Oh Henri!

The tropical storm that wreaked havoc in the Northeast banged Hudson Valley’s series finale against Brooklyn and the RailRiders’ showdown in Worcester, but the two other teams managed to bring home the Sunday gravy.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (55-37): Henri took aim at central Massachusetts and did away with this game. Since the two teams don’t play again, it won’t be made up.

• Oswald Peraza: 2-for-5, 1 run scored

Tampa Tarpons (64-29): Tampa bashed five extra-base hits and held the Mets offense silent all day in an easy 8-2 win that closed out a winning week.

• Ben Rice: 1-for-3, 2 RBI, 1 run scored, 1 walk

• Michael Giacone: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 29 pitches (21 strikes)
