Fine Arts Fiesta closes out successful weekend

<p>TOLEDO, Ohio &#8211; The Toledo Mud Hens scored the go-ahead run in the seventh inning and then took advantage when the game was shortened to eight innings by rain to defeat the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 4-3 on Sunday at Fifth Third Field..</p><p>With the game tied at 3-3 in the bottom of the seventh inning, Rex Brothers came out of the RailRider bullpen and immediately ran into trouble. The inning began with a single by Dustin Peterson, who advanced to second base when Mikie Mahtook followed with a walk. Two batters later, Brothers issued another walk to Pete Kozma to load the bases with one out.</p><p>The first pitch to the next batter, Danny Woodruff, was looped in the air to shallow right-center field and Billy Burns streaked over to make the catch, but wasn&#8217;t able to fire to the plate and get Peterson who scored for a 4-3 MudHens lead.</p><p>The RailRiders went quietly in the eighth inning and never got a chance in the ninth, thanks to the rain.</p><p>Scranton/Wilkes-Barre grabbed the game&#8217;s first run in the top of the first inning on an RBI single by Ryan Lavarnway to score Mike Tauchman.</p><p>In the third, the Mud Hens&#8217; Jeimer Candelario homered off the back netting in left field which protects the street beyond the ballpark to give Toledo a 3-1 lead. That lead held until the sixth when Breyvic Valera cracked a game-tying homer &#8211; his second homer in six games with the RailRiders.</p><p>The RailRiders are off Monday before starting a three-game homestand against Pawtucket on Tuesday.</p><style>
