​MOOSIC — One current and one former No. 1 prospect for the New York Mets doomed the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders on Friday night.Jonah Tong struck out nine in 4.2 innings and Ronny Mauricio had two hits and four RBIs to lead Syracuse to an 8-1 win over the RailRiders before 5,025 fans at PNC Field.Tong, the Mets’ No. 1 prospect according to MLB Pipeline, allowed just one run and four hits. He threw 91 pitches, 54 for strikes.“He’s always really good when he’s attacking the strike zone,” RailRiders manager Shelley Duncan said. “He’s got good stuff. He did today. Usually he has an inning here or there that things get away from him a little bit control-wise and it’s led to some big innings. He didn’t have that today. He was pounding the strike zone and was pretty good with most of his pitches.”Three Mets relievers then finished off the five-hitter, retiring the final 12 batters they faced. The RailRiders struck out 15 times — eight swinging, seven looking — to drop to 15-8 in the second half and 52-45 overall. They remain two games behind Durham in the International League second-half standings since the Bulls also lost Friday, 7-2, to the Memphis Redbirds.“There weren’t many scoring opportunities tonight,” Duncan said. “We had some guys lead off an inning and get on base, which always sets you up for a good spot. We had some opportunities in scoring position, but we’ve seen their best stuff this series in those spots. They’re not always easy. Wish we could have scrapped and clawed one or two runs earlier. Played a little passive at the beginning. Probably should have been more aggressive on my end.”Oswaldo Cabrera had two of the RailRiders’ five hits. George Lombard Jr. singled in the fifth inning to extend his hitting streak to 14 games. He also walked in the first inning, extending his on-base streak to 22 games. Ernesto Martinez Jr. and J.C. Escarra had the team’s other two hits.It was an uphill battle from the start as Syracuse took the lead just three batters into the game.With one out, starting pitcher Adam Kloffenstein (2-7) hit Nick Morabito with a pitch. Mauricio, a former top Mets prospect, then jumped on the first pitch and sent it 411 feet out to right-center field for his ninth home run and a quick 2-0 lead.Kloffenstein allowed two runs and two hits in four innings with four walks and five strikeouts.“Kloff walked four dudes in four innings, but got a couple double plays and did a good job getting out of the jams he put himself in,” Duncan said. “Aside from giving up the two-run home run, I was proud of the effort he put in tonight.”The RailRiders got one of the runs back in the bottom of the second off Tong.Yanquiel Fernandez drew a leadoff walk and advanced to third on a single by Cabrera. Tyler Hardman followed with a groundout to first that scored Fernandez and sent Cabrera to second.Then, a bit of bad luck for the RailRiders as Martinez lined a single to right, but right at M
