A disheartening way to end a 3-3 series split in Scranton against the Rail Riders (Yankees AAA.) This game was closer than it seemed, as Brian Van Belle got tagged for six runs in 4 2⁄3 innings, including five that scored via home runs, two from Everson Pereira. The WooSox rallied in the fourth, sending eight men to the plate, including a hard grounder into the outfield by Daniel Palka with the bases loaded, which scored two, but Worcester had just that and a Fitzgerald single to score Nick Sogard (who’s an infielder who has really looked good) runs to show for it, and fell just short of making this an interesting one again in the eighth.
