First Posted: 5/27/2013 NORFOLK, Va. &#8211; Back on the road, the RailRiders made themselves right at home.
Chien-Ming Wang conceded just two hits over seven innings as the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders opened up an eight-game road trip by shutting out the Norfolk Tides, 8-0, on Monday. It was the fourth time the RailRiders have blanked an opponent this season, and improved SWB&#8217;s overall record to 23-26.
After playing the entire 2012 season away from PNC Field, the Riders improved their road record this season to 14-9 &#8212; impressive considering the team had lost seven of its previous eight road starts.
Wang (3-4) carried a no-hitter into the fifth inning before a single by Luis Exposito broke it up. He issued just two walks, and lowered his earned run average to 2.65. Josh Spence tossed scoreless eighth and ninth innings to complete the shutout.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre gave Wang a commanding lead early with five runs in the second. Ronnier Mustelier extended his hitting streak to seven games with a leadoff single. Dan Johnson followed with a ground-rule double to right field to put runners at second and third. Josh Bell then singled to right field, plating Mustelier and moving Johnson to third. Two outs later, Bobby Wilson walked to load the bases.
After Corban Joseph was hit by a pitch to send home a run, Thomas Neal singled through the right side to score Bell. With the bases still loaded, Zoilo Almonte capped the inning with a single to right field, which drove home Wilson and Joseph.
The RailRiders added another run in the third when Johnson led off with a walk, advanced to second on a walk to Bell, and then scored on a single by Addison Maruszak. SWB led 6-0 after two and a half innings.
SWB added a run in the seventh. With two outs, Mustelier reached on an infield single, moved to second on a base hit by Johnson, and then scored on an error by third baseman Zelous Wheeler.
The RailRiders scoring was capped in the ninth. Neal led off with a single up the middle, moved to second on Almonte&#8217;s single, and then scored when Mustelier blooped a single to right field.
Mustelier finished the day with three hits, as did Almonte. Neal went 2-for-5, raising his batting average to .348, and assuring more money for Oklahoma tornado relief. The RailRiders announced before the game that the organization will be matching Neal&#8217;s donations ($20 per hit until the All-Star break).
Norfolk starter Josh Stinson (3-2) allowed six runs over three and two-third innings.
The RailRiders will play the Tides in game two of their series Tuesday evening, with first pitch at 6:35 p.m. Brett Marshall (2-3, 6.11) will get the starting nod from SWB, while Jair Jurrjens (4-2, 3.14) will take the mound for Norfolk.
