Muckdogs Falter in 8-1 Loss
Batavia (11-11) was lack-luster on both sides of the plate, which led to a 8-1 loss to the Renegades (15-7).
Mahoning Valley’s lead was manageable at two runs throughout the game, but a five run 8th proved to be too much. One walk and two errors from Batavia and two doubles and two base hits off of Renegade bats accounted for the big inning.
The Muckdogs plated one in the bottom of the 8th when Ryan Jackson reached on an error, moved to third on a single by Guillermo Toribio and came home on a pass ball.
Andres Rosales (1-1, 11.57) got the loss in one inning of relief work, giving up two runs on two hits with one strikeout. Christopher Corrigan went four innings in the start with three hits and two strikeouts.
D’Marcus Ingram had half of the Batavia hits, finishing 2-for-4 with a double. The two teams play again same time, same place tomorrow.
