The Manchester Wolves had their three-game winning streak come to an end Friday night following a 53-50 loss to the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton Pioneers.

The Wolves are winless in their last 10 games in Wilkes-Barre. The Pioneers have a 21-game home winning streak.

The loss dropped Manchester's record to 3-2, and both losses came against the Pioneers. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton improved to 5-1. In addition, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton coach Rich Ingold won his 80th game -- the most in af2 history.

Manchester quarterback James Pinkney completed 20-of-40 passes for 276 yards and six touchdowns. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton quarterback Ryan Vena, the former af2 Offensive Player of the Year, was held to 19 completions in 27 pass attempts for 254 yards and three touchdowns. He was intercepted once.

The Wolves grabbed a 50-46 advantage on a TD pass from Pinkney to tight end Rich Ranglin. The touchdown was set up by a long pass play from Pinkney to wide receiver Emery Sammons (nine catches for 150 yards and three TDs).

The Pioneers answered when Vena scored on a 2-yard run. The TD was set up by a 34-yard run by fullback Kirby Griffin, who carried the ball five times for a game-high 46 yards and two touchdowns. Manchester was unable to score on its final possession, and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton ran out the clock.

The game was tied at the end of one quarter (13-13) and at halftime (27-27).

Manchester's next game is Saturday, when it will face the Quad City Steamwheelers at the Verizon Wireless Arena (7:30 p.m.).
