Lottery Numbers for Monday, July 4

<p>MOOSIC &#8212; The pure power of Aaron Judge and his 16 home runs earned the hulking Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders outfielder the International League&#8217;s Player of the Month for June and helped make him a starting Triple-A All-Star.</p><p>But the 6-foot-7, 275-pound New York Yankees prospect doesn&#8217;t always rely on brute strength for production.</p><p>Instead of celebrating the Fourth of July with a big booming fireworks display Monday, Judge made plenty of noise with a couple of firecrackers.</p><p>His two-run single in the third inning and RBI hit in the fifth proved enough to lift the RailRiders over Lehigh Valley, 5-2 at PNC Field on Monday.</p><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s all about getting on base and just trying to keep the chain moving,&#8221; Judge said.</p><p>In doing that, he moved the numbers on the scoreboard.</p><p>A couple batters after Eddy Rodriguez used the first of his three hits to tie the game 1-1 in the second inning, Judge stepped to the plate with two outs and two runners in scoring position.</p><p>He responded by blistering a single to center field, scoring Rodriguez and Ben Gamel for a 3-1 lead the RailRiders never lost.</p><p>&#8220;For me, it&#8217;s getting a good pitch to hit,&#8221; Judge said. &#8220;If I make solid contact, it&#8217;ll get the job done. If not, the guys in back of me will get it done.&#8221;</p><p>Rodriguez got things done by scoring twice during his 3 for 4 night, and the RailRiders also prospered with plenty of defense.</p><p>RailRiders left fielder Cesar Puello ran a country mile into foul territory to chase down Cedric Hunter&#8217;s high drive with a headlong dive for the catch in the second inning. And RailRiders first baseman Tyler Austin immediately followed by tracking down a looper off the bat of Cam Perkins with a nifty, over-the-shoulder grab in short right field.</p><p>An inning later, RailRiders shortstop Jonathan Diaz fielder a chopper up the middle, stepped on second base with a runner bearing down on him and fired to first for a double play.</p><p>After Lehigh Valley turned a double play in the fifth inning, Judge used another two-out single to drive home Rodriguez for the second time and double the RailRiders lead, 4-2.</p><p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve got so much talent in this lineup,&#8221; Judge said. &#8220;We&#8217;ve got Tyler Austin, Gary Sanchez has been on fire. I&#8217;m trying to get on base for them.&#8221;</p><p>Lehigh Valley had men on base all night against RailRiders starter Luis Severino, but the hard-throwing righthander worked out of trouble while surrendering eight hits in his seven innings and limited the IronPigs to single runs in the first and fifth innings. He moved to 5-0 on the season and remained unbeaten over two seasons with the RailRiders, running his Triple-A record to 12-0.</p><p>Nick Goody worked a perfect ninth inning for his third save of the season, but the RailRiders saved their best for last.</p><p>They signed hats to be auctioned off for charity after most of the team sat near the dugout watching an impressive postgame fireworks display at PNC Field.</p><p>&#8220;Amazing,&#8221; Judge called it. &#8220;Really nice.&#8221;</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>RailRiders 5, Lehigh Valley 2</strong></p><p><strong>Lehigh Valley`AB`R`H`BI</strong></p><p>Featherston 3b`4`0`2`1</p><p>Crawford ss`4`0`0`0</p><p>Williams lf`4`1`1`0</p><p>Ruf 1b`4`0`1`1</p><p>Knapp c`4`0`0`0</p><p>Hunter dh`4`0`0`0</p><p>Perkins cf`4`0`0`0</p><p>Lough rf`3`1`3`0</p><p>Burriss 2b`3`0`1`0</p><p><strong>Totals`34`2`8`2</strong></p><p><strong>RailRiders`AB`R`H`BI</strong></p><p>Gamel dh`3`1`2`1</p><p>Solano 3b`4`0`0`0</p><p>Judge rf`4`0`2`3</p><p>Austin 1b`4`0`0`0</p><p>Puello lf`3`0`0`0</p><p>Cave cf`4`0`1`0</p><p>Rosario 2b`3`1`1`0</p><p>Diaz ss`3`1`0`0</p><p>Rodriguez c`4`2`3`1</p><p><strong>Totals`32`5`9`5</strong></p><p><strong>Lehigh Valley`100`010`000`&#8212;`2 </strong></p><p><strong>RailRiders`003`011`00x`&#8212;`5</strong></p><p><strong>2B &#8212;</strong> Williams (20), Lough (5), Featherston (17); Rosario (2), Gamel (13).</p><p><strong>Lehigh Valley`IP`H`R`ER`BB`SO</strong></p><p>Russell, L (2-5)`7`9`5`5`1`3</p><p>Garcia`1`0`0`0`1`0</p><p><strong>RailRiders`IP`H`R`ER`BB`SO</strong></p><p>Severino, W (5-0)`7`8`2`2`0`4</p><p>Webb`1`0`0`0`0`0</p><p>Goody, S (3)`1`0`0`0`0`0</p><style>
