June 9 Trenton Thunder Ballpark Postponed June 10 Trenton Thunder Ballpark - G1 W, 3-2 A NIGHT OF FIRSTS: Thursday night’s doubleheader with Buffalo will be the first true doubleheader of the season for the Scranton/Wilkes- Barre RailRiders.

Because of the two doubleheaders in three days, the RailRiders and Bisons June 13 Trenton Thunder Ballpark 1:00 p.m. played each other six times from June 3-6. Game 2 of Thursday’s twin bill also marked the first time that the RailRiders have been shut out Aug 31 PNC Field 5:05 p.m. this season, and the first time that a RailRider has been ejected from a game, with ManagerDoug Davis, Mike Ford, and Socrates Brito PNC Field Game 2 all being run from the game in the top of the third.

Not only was it the first time that the RailRiders have Sept 3 PNC Field 7:05 p.m. been shut out this season, but it was the first time that SWB had been shut out in a game since June 27, 2019, when ironically the Buffalo Sept 4 PNC Field 5:05 p.m. Bisons beat the RailRiders 1-0 in Game 2 of a doubleheader at PNC Field. In between, the RailRiders had gone 93 straight games without PNC Field Game 2 being shut out. This season SWB has only scored fewer than two runs in a game on one other occasion, a 3-1 loss at Rochester on May 23. Sept 5 PNC Field 1:05 p.m. THIS ROAD TRIP FEELS...FAMILIAR: With the Buffalo Bisons having to play their entire home schedule this season at Trenton Thunder Ballpark, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders will play this series in a familiar setting for many players.
