Wilmington, Del. (July 28, 2024) — The offense came alive for the Hudson Valley Renegades on Sunday in the series finale, as they notched nine hits in a 5-4 victory over the Wilmington Blue Rocks at Frawley Stadium.

In the top of the second Hudson Valley took a 2-0 lead. Josh Moylan and Cole Gabrielson notched a pair of singles before an RBI double by Anthony Hall chased home Moylan. Gabrielson later scored from third on a balk by Riley Cornelio.

The Blue Rocks got even against Baron Stuart in the bottom of the second when with two outs Roismar Quintana and Matt Suggs each drew walks. A two-run double by Marcus Brown scored both runners to tie the score at 2-2.

A solo home run by T.J White in the fourth put the Blue Rocks ahead 3-2.

The Renegades regained the lead in the top of the fifth. Hall tripled to lead off the inning and Roc Riggio walked to put runners at first and third. A second balk by Cornelio forced in Hall from third and advanced Riggio to second. An RBI single in the next at-bat by Garrett Martin brought in Riggio and made it 4-3 Hudson Valley.

Josh Moylan added a solo home run in the sixth off Jaren Zinn to make it 5-3 Renegades, his third of the series and sixth of the year.

Hudson Valley’s bullpen was strong behind starter Baron Stuart. A combination of Cole Ayers (3-4), Matt Keating, Indigo Diaz, Hueston Morrill, and Mason Vinyard allowed just three combined hits and one run in five frames to seal a 5-4 win.

Wilmington threatened in the bottom of the ninth. After a one-out walk Marcus Brown advanced to third on a Johnathon Thomas double, scoring on an RBI groundout by Phillip Glasser to make it 5-4. Vinyard struck out Jared McKenzie to end the game and earn his second save of the season, stranding the tying run in Thomas at third base.

The Renegades will have a day off on Monday before returning home to face the Jersey Shore BlueClaws in a six-game series beginning on Tuesday. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m., with the Heritage Financial Credit Union Pregame Show beginning at 6:15 on the Renegades Baseball Network.
