Moosic, PA – Ronny Mauricio homered twice, Ben Rortvedt added a three-run blast, and the Syracuse Mets backed another dominant bullpen performance with an 8-1 victory over the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders on Saturday night at PNC Field.

Syracuse answered immediately in the fifth. MJ Melendez walked and stole second before Ryan Clifford lined an RBI single to center. Clifford later stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error before Ben Rortvedt added an RBI single to make it 7-1.
Mauricio capped the scoring in the eighth, blasting his second home run of the night and 11th of the season to push the Mets' lead to 8-1.
