Ben Gamel singled to start a five-run rally in the sixth inning, then ripped a two-run double in the eighth as the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders rallied for a 10-4 victory over Syracuse in an International League baseball game in Syracuse.
Trailing 4-2 entering the sixth, the RailRiders batted around to take the lead for good.
Gamel’s sharp single started the comeback, and later, Cito Culver drilled a run-scoring double while Jake Cave, Mason Williams and Rob Refsnyder ripped run-scoring singles. Pete Kozma added a sacrifice fly in the frame as the RailRiders grabbed a 7-4 lead.
Clint Frazier tripled and scored on Cave’s single in the seventh, and the RailRiders added their final three runs in the eighth when Gamel chased home Williams and Donovan Solano with a double, then scored Frazier’s single.
Luis Severino moved his season pitching record to 8-1 and his Triple-A mark to 15-1 despite allowing nine hits and four runs over 5 2/3 innings. Giovanny Gallegos finished up for the RailRiders by striking out four batters in two perfect innings of relief.
