Worcester comfortably led this game until the top of the ninth when old friend Franchy Cordero hit a two-run home run off Ryan Fernandez. Then things really got out of hand.
In dramatic fashion, with Fernandez one strike away from shutting it all down, he gave up a solo home run instead to tie it up. The RailRiders then plated the go-ahead run later that inning. Worcester had a chance to answer in the bottom of the ninth, and it looked promising as Bobby Dalbec led off with a walk. But Ron Marinaccio retired everyone else he faced to end the game.
