Batavia (21-23) couldn’t match up to Williamsport (26-18) on either side of the plate, resulting in a 9-4 loss.

All the Batavia runs came on the long ball.  Xavier Scruggs went deep in the 6th and Alan Ahmady matched him on a 2-0 pitch in the 9th.  After Scruggs walked during the next at-bat, Ryde Rodriguez put another ball over the right field wall to bring the game a little closer at 9-4.

Starter Michael Blazek (3-6, 4.26) lasted just two innings, letting in six runs on eight hits with two strikeouts.  Josh Squatrito followed him, also going two innings with two hits, one walk and two strikeouts.  Daniel Calhoun lasted the longest of the pitching staff, throwing three innings with one run, one hit and five strikeouts.  Tyler Lavigne threw the 8th with two runs, two hits and a walk.  Santo Maertz finished out the game with a strikeout, groundout and pop-out to third.

D’Marcus Ingram stayed hot of late, being the only Muckdog with a multi-hit night.  He finished 2-for-4 with two stolen bases.
