May 15 PNC Field L, 5-4 May 16 PNC Field 1:05 p.m. news & notes June 1 PNC Field 6:35 p.m. June 2 PNC Field 6:35 p.m. June 3 PNC Field 6:35 p.m. LET’S GET IT STARTED (IN HERE): After posting a 6.75 ERA (15 ER/20.0 IP) in the season-opening series at Syracuse, RailRiders starting pitchers June 4 PNC Field 6:35 p.m. have been much better at PNC Field through two games. Before Mike Montgomery allowed 5 ER in 4.0 IP on Saturday, SWB starting pitchers had June 5 PNC Field 4:05 p.m. combined for a 1.84 ERA (3 ER/14.2 IP) in the first four games of this series against Lehigh Valley. With a small sample size of 10 games played before June 6 PNC Field 1:05 p.m. Saturday, the previous four games had dropped RailRiders’ starters ERA down to 4.63, while the overall staff ERA has fell from 6.24 entering Tuesday’s June 22 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. home opener, to 4.31 entering Sunday. In 2019, SWB posted a 4.98 ERA at home in 71 games, and 4.94 overall. June 23 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. June 24 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. BULLS ON PARADE: The RailRiders bullpen has emerged as one of the strengths of the team through the first 11 games of the season. After 5.0 June 25 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. hitless, scoreless innings against Lehigh Valley on Saturday, the ‘pen has allowed only one run in its last 16.2 innings across three games, and three June 26 Coca-Cola Park 6:35 p.m. runs in 26.0 dating back to Sunday, May 9. As a 12-man unit, the bullpen has combined for 40 strikeouts and 12 walks in that time. Overall, the bullpen June 27 Coca-Cola Park 1:35 p.m. sports a 3.58 ERA (22 ER/55.1 IP) and is 5-for-6 in save opportunities. August 10 PNC Field 7:05 p.m. August 11 PNC Field 7:05 p.m. DINGER ALERT: After shattering the SWB franchise record with 212 home runs in 2019 (previously 164 in 1998), the RailRiders are at it again, hitting 15 August 12 PNC Field 7:05 p.m. home runs in the team’s first six games. However, the RailRiders did not hit a home run in their first two games at PNC Field this season, butRobinson August 13 PNC Field 7:05 p.m. Chirinos’4th-inning blast off David Parkinson on Thursday night changed that. Nonetheless, the 18 round-trippers hit by SWB puts the club in a August 14 PNC Field 6:05 p.m. tie for second place in the Triple-A East League with Nashville and Gwinnett, trailing Durham (25). The RailRiders are tied for fourth in minor league August 15 PNC Field 1:05 p.m. baseball in home runs and are one of seven teams who have hit at least 18 long balls. Incredibly, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs only hit two home runs August 24 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. thus far, the fewest of any Triple-A team. Only one MiLB team (South Bend, A+, CHC, 0 HR) has hit fewer than the IronPigs. August 25 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. August 26 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. WALK-A-THON: Through 11 games this season, the RailRiders have drawn an astonishing 66 walks, tied for the most in all of Triple-A baseball with August 27 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. Gwinnett. No other team in the minors’ highest level has taken more than 56 bases on balls. Overall, the RailRiders are tied or fourth in all of minor August 28 Coca-Cola Park 6:35 p.m. league baseball in walks, with St. Lucie (Low-A, NYM) leading the way with 74 walks. SWB’s team .380 OBP is second best in the Triple-A East League, August 29 Coca-Cola Park 1:35 p.m. trailing Gwinnett (.383), and ranks seventh across all levels of the minors. September 14 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. September 15 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. THREE DOZEN SIDES OF BACON: The COVID-19 pandemic has created one of the most unusual season schedules in the history of the Scranton/ September 16 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. Wilkes-Barre franchise. With the season beginning a full month later than traditional, all teams in the Triple-A East League will play 120-game schedules. September 17 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. The RailRiders, along with the rest of the Northeast Division teams, will exclusively play teams within the division. This leads to a schedule where SWB September 18 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. plays the rival Lehigh Valley IronPigs an unprecedented 36 times. The RailRiders currently lead the 2021 IronRail Series 3-2. September 19 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. MARATHON MEN: The RailRiders played their longest 9-inning game in franchise history on Thursday at Syracuse, clocking in at 4:09. That surpassed 2019 results: Lehigh Valley, 11-7 the previous record of 4:04, when the then-Red Barons locked horns with the Pawtucket Red Sox on Sept. 1, 2000. Thursday’s game also featured 13 all-time series: RailRiders Lead 110-99 walks by SWB pitchers, three shy of the club record set against Tidewater in 1991. Early in the season, it stands as the longest game in Triple-A East League history, but wasn’t even the longest 9-inning game in minor league baseball on May 6. That distinction belongs to the Lake County Captains (High-A, CLE) and Lansing Lugnuts (High-A, OAK) who completed a 7-6 Captains win in 4:18. Not to be out-done, the RailRiders and Mets game on railriders at a glance Sunday, May 9 lasted 4:03, making it the third-longest game in franchise history. 2019 regular season: 76-65 AIN’T NO PARTY LIKE A MOOSIC PARTY: Tuesday’s RailRiders home opener was Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s first game at PNC Field since Game 3 of the GB: +1.0 -- 1st, IL North First Round of the IL Playoffs vs. Durham on Sept. 7, 2019. The span of 612 days between games at home in NEPA is the longest in franchise history, Home: 45-26 Away: 31-39 surpassing the 577-day streak from Sept. 5, 2011 - April 4, 2013 when SWB played the entire 2012 season away from Moosic owing to renovations at PNC Field.

    2021 swb railriders 2021 swb railriders triple-a information On February 12, 2021, Major League Baseball announced its new plan for affiliated baseball, with 120 Minor League clubs officially agreeing to join the new Professional Development League (PDL). In total, the new player development system includes 179 teams across 17 leagues in 43 states and four provinces. Including the AZL and GCL, there are 209 teams across 19 leagues in 44 states and four provinces. That includes the 150 teams in the PDL and AZL/GCL along with the four partner leagues: the American Association, Atlantic League, Frontier League and Pioneer League. The long-time Triple-A structure of the International and Pacific Coast Leagues have been replaced by Triple-A East and Triple-A West. Triple-A East consists on 20 teams; all 14 from the International League, plus teams moving from the Pacific Coast League, the Southern League and the independent Atlantic League. Triple-A West is comprised of nine Pacific Coast League teams and one addition from the Atlantic League. These changes were made to help reduce travel and allow Major League teams to have their affiliates, in most cases, within 200 miles of the parent club (or play at their Spring Training facilities). triple-a clubs & affiliates midwest northeast southeast e Columbus (Cleveland Indians) Buffalo (Toronto Blue Jays) Charlotte (Chicago White Sox) Indianapolis (Pittsburgh Pirates) Lehigh Valley (Philadelphia Phillies) Durham (Tampa Bay Rays) a Iowa (Chicago Cubs) Rochester (Washington Nationals) Gwinnett (Atlanta Braves) s Louisville (Cincinnati Reds) Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre (New York Yankees) Jacksonville (Miami Marlins) Omaha (Kansas City Royals) Syracuse (New York Mets) Memphis (St.

  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

  • Lehigh County Created on March 6, 1812, from Part of Northampton
    Lehigh County Created on March 6, 1812, from part of Northampton County and named for the Lehigh River. The name Lehigh is derived from the German “Lecha,” which comes from the Native American term “Uchauwekink,” meaning, “where there are forks.” Allentown, the county seat, was laid out about 1762 and named for Chief Justice William Allen of Pennsylvania, a local landowner. It was incorporated as the Borough of Northampton on March 18, 1811, renamed Allentown in 1838, and chartered as a city on March 12, 1867. The county adopted a home rule charter in November 1975. Although English, Scotch-Irish, and Welsh were in the Saucon Township area before 1729, large numbers of Swiss and Germans came to the Lehigh Valley after that. Philadelphians allied with the Penn proprietors received large grants and sold them to settlers. Allentown was designed to take advantage of the road to Reading. Canal development in the 1820s preceded the growth of industry. Railroads arrived in the 1840s, and Allentown grew large in the 1850s. Small iron furnaces using local ore flourished until phased out by competition elsewhere. By the late nineteenth century the slate industry, grain milling, and the manufacture of shoes, cotton, woolens, silk, cigars, beer, and cement were major enterprises, but each has been overcome by competitors elsewhere since the 1930s. Machinery manufacture was dominant until the deindustrialization period of the 1970s. Forty-three percent of the land is farmed, and the value of harvested crops exceeds that of animal products. Lehigh is in the top quarter of the counties in total farm income.
