WILKES-BARRE — Down three runs in the bottom of the seventh with the bottom of the order due up, Meyers quickly and decisively posted a rally against rival GAR.

The Mohawks scored four runs in the final frame without recording an out to beat the Grenadiers 4-3 on Tuesday at Gibby Field for their third straight win.

Meyers (4-2) drew three straight walks to lead off the home half of the seventh before senior C.J. Szafran came through with the biggest hit of the game, a bases-clearing triple that tied the game.

Two batters later, Matt DeMarco sent a pitch into the gap in right-center to bring home Szafran for the winning run.

Kyle McHale picked up the win in relief, striking out five in four innings of work.

Sean-Paul Williamson singled and drove in two runs for GAR (2-4).
