August 20 vs. Pawtucket L 7-4 The game moved to extra innings to set up the McBroom heroics when the RailRiders plated a go-ahead run in the top of the August 21 vs. Pawtucket W 4-2 ninth on a double by Wendell Rijo. The next man up was Billy Burns who sacrificed him to third base, but the throw to first base August 22 vs. Pawtucket W 4-3 by Tanner Houck sailed away down the line into foul territory and allowed Rijo to score to put the RailRiders on top 4-3. The August 23 @ Lehigh Valley W 11-4 bottom of the ninth inning featured Josh Ockimey’s game-tying solo homer to make it 4-4 and set the scene for McBroom’s blast. August 24 @ Lehigh Valley L 7-3 August 25 @ Lehigh Valley L 6-2 Scranton/Wilkes-Barre got the best Triple-A start to date for starting pitcher Nick Nelson, who was overpowering at times, not August 26 @ Pawtucket 7:05 PM allowing a hit until the fifth inning. He walked the second and third batter of the game before retiring the next 11 men who came to the plate. He finished 5.0 innings while allowing a pair of hits and a run- coming in the fifth inning- in an outing in which he August 27 @ Pawtucket 7:05 PM struck out eight batters. August 28 @ Pawtucket 7:05 PM August 29 @ Pawtucket 7:05 PM The run he allowed tied the game 1-1, due to consecutive doubles with two outs by the RailRiders off PawSox starting pitcher August 30 vs. Buffalo 7:05 PM Kyle Hart. For a second straight outing, Hart neutralized the RailRiders offense to the tune of one run over 6.0 innings, but like August 31 vs. Buffalo 6:35 PM his counterpart Nelson, Hart too exited with a no-decision.
