The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders were beat 4-2 by the Indianapolis Indians at Victory Field on Sunday afternoon.
The RailRiders (8-8) pitching staff saw its scoreless-innings streak stall at 25 in a row, while Indy (5-12) halted the scoreless-innings streak for its offense at 26.
SWB went 2-1 in the series and went 4-2 during road trip through the IL West.
The RailRiders plated its two runs in the opening inning. Clint Frazier drew a one-out walk before Rob Refsnyder tripled him home. After Ji-Man Choi walked, Ruben Tejada drove Refsnyder home with a sac fly to medium right center.
The RailRiders rattled starter Drew Hutchison again in the second inning. Mark Payton singled to right, took second on a wild pitch and Cito Culver reached on a two-base error by left fielder Christopher Bostick that gave Payton third base.
But with men at second and third and nobody out, the RailRiders failed to add to their lead. In fact, Indy pitching would not allow another man on base the rest of the way, retiring the final 24 SWB hitters of the game.
In the sixth, Diaz singled over second base to drive in a pair of runs that tied the game. An inning later, three walks by Joe Mantiply (0-1) loaded the bases with one out. Chasen Shreve entered from the bullpen, but gave up a weak RBI infield single against the grain of a tilted infield for a 3-2 lead.
Eric Wood doubled home the final run in the eighth.
SWB starter Brady Lail settled for a no-decision despite four hits, two runs and two strikeouts in six innings of work.
The RailRiders return home Tuesday to host Louisville at PNC Field at 6:35 p.m.
