Lakewood, N.J. (July 10, 2024) — The Hudson Valley Renegades lost a tough contest 10-4 to the Jersey Shore BlueClaws on Wednesday afternoon at ShoreTown Ballpark.
Jersey Shore jumped in front in the bottom of the first against Kyle Carr. Emaarion Boyd walked and went first-to-third on an Erick Brito single. Keaton Anthony followed with a sacrifice fly to right to bring in Boyd and give the BlueClaws a 1-0 lead.
The BlueClaws broke the game open with six runs in the bottom of the fourth, with a two-run double by Boyd and a two-run single by Anthony serving as the big blows to open up a 7-0 lead. Carr (0-6) allowed seven runs (six earned) on six hits across 3.0-plus innings, walking three and striking out two.
Jersey Shore added another run against Cole Ayers in the bottom of the sixth on a wild pitch to open up an 8-0 lead.
The Renegades got on the board in the top of the seventh when Christopher Familia launched a three-run home run to left-center off Trey Dillard to cut the deficit to 8-3. Familia’s home run was his second of the season, and was and impressive display of power – he became the first left-handed batter since 2021 to homer into the Chick-Fil-A Fan Zone located 20 feet above the field in deep left-center at ShoreTown Ballpark.
