Cycle of retaliation prompted SCI Dallas protest, inmates say

PAWTUCKET, R.I. &#8212; It took a few games, but the RailRiders offense is starting to resemble the unit that was explosive at times in the 2015 season.On Tuesday night, all but one batter in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre&#8217;s lineup grabbed a hit and eight of the nine also scored a run led by slugger Aaron Judge, who went 4 for 6 in the 9-1 victory over Pawtucket at McCoy Stadium.The first three batters of the game &#8212; Ben Gamel, Judge and Slade Heathcott &#8212; all reached base for SWB as the team scored three times in the first frame taking advantage of a Pawtucket error and a passed ball, and adding a sacrifice fly from Donovan Soloano to give starter Chad Green a three-run lead.Green allowed a run in the bottom of the first inning, but that was the only run he allowed in his 3 2/3 innings of work. The righty only lasted into the fourth inning due to his pitch count hitting 95 on account of issuing five walks and striking out four.Connor Mullee (1-0) picked up the win tossing 3 1/3 hitless innings and fanning six.Meanwhile, the RailRiders offense pushed out five runs in the fourth inning batting around plus one. Gary Sanchez doubled in a run, Rob Refsnyder hit an RBI-triple, Chris Parmelee laced a run-scoring single and Jonathan Diaz singled in a pair in the five-run inning.Judge added an RBI-double in the ninth inning to round out the scoring.The teams wrap up their three-game series on Wednesday afternoon at 12:05 p.m. with the right-handed Kyle Haynes (0-0, 3.60) getting the nod for the RailRiders versus left-hander Henry Owens (1-0, 0.00). The RailRiders return home on Thursday for a 6:35 p.m. start against Syracuse at PNC Field.RailRiders 8, Red Sox 1RailRiders`AB`R`H`BIGamel cf`5`1`2`0Judge rf`6`2`4`1Heathcott dh`5`1`0`0Sanchez c`4`1`1`1Refsnyder 2b`5`1`1`1Solano 3b`3`1`1`1Parmelee 1b`3`1`1`1Puello lf`4`1`2`0Diaz ss`4`0`1`2Totals`40`9`13`7Pawtucket`AB`R`H`BIRutledge 3b`5`1`1`0Hernandez 2b`3`0`0`0Vazquez c`1`0`0`0Travis 1b`4`0`1`1Maxwell rf`4`0`0`0Leon dh`4`0`1`0DMarrero ss`4`0`0`0CMarrero lf`3`0`0`0LaMarre cf`2`0`1`0Totals`30`1`4`1RailRiders`300`500`001` &#8212;`9Pawtucket`100`000`o00`&#8212;`1E: Travis (3), LaMarre (1), Light (1).
