The Batavia Muckdogs battled back on Monday from a three-run first-inning deficit to beat Newark at Dwyer Stadium 6-5 behind the 3-3, four RBI performance of catcher Adam Agresti.

Garrett Beaver worked a scoreless eight to pick up the win, and Trey Bacon retired all three batters he faced in the ninth, fanning Pilots to pick up his fifth save.

Starter Tyler Henshaw surrendered four runs over three innings, giving up six hits and two walks. He struck out three.

Ryan Kinney pitched four innings, walked one and collected seven strikeouts.

At 8-5, the Muckdogs are in third place in the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League's Western Division, a half-game behind Niagara and Elmira.

Reported attendance: 1,432

The next home game is June 22 against Jamestown.
