Swoyersville Legion wins Mid-Atlantic Regional opener

Wednesday began and the RailRiders had suddenly found themselves knocked from their perch at the top of the standings.It didn&#8217;t last.Dietrich Enns led the way on the mound as Scranton/Wilkes-Barre turned in a two-hit shutout on Wednesday night, beating rival Lehigh Valley 7-0 at Coca-Cola Park.The win snapped a season-worst five-game losing streak, one that had allowed the IronPigs to briefly take over first place in the IL North. The two teams are now tied for the best record in Triple-A at 68-43.Enns pitched five innings of one-hit ball, striking out four and walking three to pick up the win. Kirby Yates, Giovanny Gallegos and Jonathan Holder handled the final four frames, allowing just one hit and no walks between them.It added up to the team&#8217;s 18th shutout of the season, best in all of the minor leagues and improved on the franchise record.At the plate, Tyler Austin went 3 for 4 with a double and an RBI to lead the way. Aaron Judge (double), Pete Kozma (double, RBI) and Donovan Solano (RBI) each had two hits while Kyle Higashioka slammed a two-run homer in the second to get things started.It was just the fourth loss in the last 20 games for surging Lehigh Valley.The RailRiders won for the first time on their road trip. They had just 26 hits (.169) in the previous five games before breaking out for 12 (.333) on Wednesday.Scranton/Wilkes-Barre will go for the split in the four-game series on Thursday, taking on the IronPigs at 7 p.m. before returning home for a weekend set against Syracuse.RailRiders 7, IronPigs 0RailRiders`AB`R`H`BICave cf`5`0`1`1Frazier lf`5`1`1`0Judge dh`5`1`2`0Davis 1b`3`1`0`1Austin rf`4`2`3`1Solano 3b`4`1`2`1Higashioka c`3`1`1`2Kozma ss`5`0`2`1Diaz 2b`2`0`0`0Totals`36`7`12`3IronPigs`AB`R`H`BISweeney 3b`3`0`1`0Crawford ss`2`0`0`0Williams lf`4`0`0`0Ruf 1b`4`0`0`0Knapp c`4`0`0`0Perkins cf`3`0`1`0Stassi dh`3`0`0`0Hunter rf`3`0`0`0Valentin 2b`3`0`0`0Totals`29`0`2`0RailRiders`031`030`000 &#8212; 7IronPigs`000`000`000 &#8212; 02B &#8212; Austin (20), Kozma (18), Judge (18); HR &#8212; Higashioka (6); SB &#8212; Crawford (7); E &#8212; Solano (12)RailRiders`IP`H`R`ER`BB`SOEnns (W)`5.0`1`0`0`3`4Yates`2.0`1`0`0`0`2Gallegos`1.0`0`0`0`0`1Holder`1.0`0`0`0`0`2IronPigs`IP`H`R`ER`BB`SOInfante (L)`2.2`4`4`4`2`4Rodriguez`2.1`7`3`3`1`3Murray`2.0`0`0`0`1`2Arajuo`1.0`0`0`0`0`0Hinojosa`1.0`1`0`0`2`1WP &#8212; Enns, YatesUmpires &#8212; HP: Paul Clemons; 1B: Chris Segal; 2B: Alex Tosi; 3B: Ben MayT &#8212; 2:53; A &#8212; 8,537<style>
