MOOSIC, PA (June 5, 2026) – The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders have announced a game time change for their Friday, June 12, contest against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs.

Gates will open at 5:00 P.M. on June 12 for a First Responder Friday, presented by Kost Tire & Auto. First responders can receive free tickets on a first-come, first-served basis.
