<p>Scranton/Wilkes-Barre&#8217;s magical May keeps on rolling.</p><p>Mandy Alvarez came through with a walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the ninth, and the RailRiders remained undefeated on the month with a 5-4 win over Indianapolis on Wednesday at PNC Field.</p><p>It was the seventh straight victory for the RailRiders (17-12), who recovered from blowing an early lead before rallying.</p><p>Tied 4-4, the Indians never got an out in the ninth as Logan Morrison was hit by a pitch, Ryan Lavarnway drew a walk and Gosuke Katoh reached on a bunt single to load the bases.</p><p>Alvarez then lined a 1-2 pitch to center, keeping the streak alive with his third hit of the game.</p><p>Matt Lipka got Scranton/Wilkes-Barre off to a great start, launching a three-run shot over the fence in left-center to open the scoring in the bottom of the second.</p><p>It didn&#8217;t last.</p><p>Indianapolis responded immediately in the top of the third with a pair of doubles. Ke&#8217;Bryan Hayes drove in a run with the second one, prompting a pitching change as New York Yankees reliever Chad Green started another game in an opener role.</p><p>But Daniel Camarena &#8212; just added to the roster after signing a minor-league deal &#8212; gave up two hits right after taking the mound himself. The first scored a run and the second set up a sac fly that tied it up at 3-3.</p><p>Pablo Reyes took Camarena deep in the next inning to give the Indians the lead, which held until the bottom of the sixth, when Alvarez scored on a wild pitch to make things even again.</p><p>The RailRiders managed to put the go-ahead run in scoring position in the sixth, seventh and eighth but couldn&#8217;t bring it home. All of it was forgotten with the breakthrough in the ninth.</p><p>Stephen Tarpley, optioned from New York over the weekend, picked up the win in relief.</p><p>Scranton/Wilkes-Barre will go for the sweep with a Thursday matinee against the Indians. First pitch is set for 10:35 a.m.</p><style>
