Coughlin advances to District 2 Girls Lacrosse Final, will face Wyoming Seminary

MOOSIC &#8212; For the second time in less than a week, the RailRiders faced Louisville left-hander Cody Reed. And for the second time in six days, Reed held Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to just two runs.But this time, the RailRiders dropped a 5-3 decision to the Bats to lose for just the third time in their last 12 games.Reed held the RailRiders to just two hits through four innings keeping the hitters off balance by changing speeds and mixing the location of all his pitches to keep the hitters guessing.&#8220;We just have to move on,&#8221; RailRiders manager Al Pedrique said. &#8220;I just told the guys &#8216;tomorrow&#8217;s another day. Gotta go home get some rest and be ready to play a 10:30 (in the morning) game.&#8217;&#8221;Facing the Bats for the second time in six days, RailRiders lefty Brady Lail got the start and entered the game allowing just one run in his previous 12 innings in Triple-A. But that stretch ended early on as he was hit with his first loss of the season after beating Louisville last week.Louisville got to Lail just three pitches into the game when Juan Perez drove the pitch over the wall in right for the leadoff shot and a 1-0 lead. The Bats picked up two more in the second inning on a two-run double from Rafael Lopez to go ahead 3-0 as the 22-year-old struggled with his command in the first two innings.Lail settled down after the second inning not allowing anymore runs in the outing despite giving up at least one baserunner in every inning but the sixth. The biggest jam he got out of was in the fifth inning after a double by Jesse Winker put runners on second and third with one out. Lail then got a popout and a groundout to end the threat.In the sixth inning, Lail&#8217;s final frame of the night, he fanned two of his four in the game and registered his only 1-2-3 inning. In total, Lail gave up eight hits and no walks in throwing 103 pitches, the most he&#8217;s thrown this season pitching for Double-A Trenton or Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as he picked up his third straight quality start.&#8220;I&#8217;m happy about it because of the way that I bounced back and was able to go six innings and give the team a chance,&#8221; Lail said. &#8220;There were definitely some downers, but more positives than negatives so I&#8217;m excited about that.&#8221;Lail also ran into a strange situation in the fifth inning when a foul tip off the bat of Jose Peraza grazed the hand of catcher Gary Sanchez, who had to leave the game mid-at-bat and was replaced by Eddy Rodriguez.Pedrique said Sanchez has a swollen right thumb, won&#8217;t play Wednesday and will be re-evaluated. Sanchez had been slated to be the designated hitter, but will now sit out the morning game.&#8220;I have really good connection with both of them so it didn&#8217;t really phase me a lot,&#8221; Lail said. &#8220;I was just hoping Eddy could get the body going as quick as he did and he did a great job.&#8221;The RailRiders started to come back plating a pair on a two-run shot by Cesar Puello in the fifth inning. His second of the season cleared the wall in right field to trim the deficit to 3-2.Tyler Webb, who relieved Lail in the seventh inning, allowed a run to cross the plate as Louisville extended its lead to 4-2.The RailRiders offense, which managed eight hits, was paced by Jake Cave, who had three hits including a double and triple. The triple was his third of the season with SWB and his sixth total, which includes three with Trenton. Cave scored in the ninth on a sacrifice fly by Puello, who drove in all three RailRider runs.Bats 5, RailRiders 3Louisville `AB`R`H`BIPerez 2b`4`1`2`1Peraza ss` 5`0`1`0Winker rf`4`0`1`0Curtis 3b`5`0`2`1Allen dh`4`0`0`0Schebler cf`4`2`3`0Mejias-Brean 1b`3`1`0`0Waldrop lf`4`0`1`1Lopez c`4`1`2`2Totals`37`5`12`5RailRiders`AB`R`H`BIGamel dh`4`0`0`0Judge rf`3`0`1`0Sanchez c`2`0`1`0Rodriguez c`1`0`0`0Swisher 1b`4`0`2`0Solano 2b`4`0`0`0Cave lf`4`2`3`0Puello dh`3`1`1`3Romero 3b`4`0`0`0Kozma ss`4`0`0`0Totals`33`3`8`3Louisville`120`000`110`&#8212;`5RailRiders`000`020`001` &#8212; `3E: Curtis (2).
