Pinstriped Performances: The Final Countdown

Scranton closes out the 2021 season with a five-game stint at Rochester, and it began with a win on Wednesday.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (71-52): The RailRiders took an 8-3 lead through three and held on the rest of the way to defeat the Red Wings 10-6.

• Star of the Game: Greg Allen – 2-for-4, 1 home run (5), 4 RBI, 2 runs scored, 1 walk. A hero of the early-August Yankees resurgence, Allen has also hit well at Triple-A, putting together a .330/.447/.474 slash line in 70 games
• Pitching Star of the Game: Matt Krook – 5 IP, 3 H, 3 R (0 ER), 2 BB, 7 K, 88 pitches (52 strikes). Krook’s September tear continues: he’s put up a miniscule 0.64 ERA and has struck out 31 in 28 innings this month
• Estevan Florial: 0-for-5, 3 strikeouts
• Oswaldo Cabrera: 2-for-3, 3 runs scored, 2 walks, 1 strikeout. In his late-season cameo, Cabrera is hitting an unbelievable .556 and has staked his claim to a Triple-A roster spot next season, if not a 40-man spot
• Ryan LaMarre: 2-for-5, 1 RBI, 2 runs scored, 1 strikeout
• Max McDowell: 1-for-3, 2 RBI, 1 run scored, 1 walk
