Dylan Cruther hit a two-RBI double later in the inning to make it a 7-0 game. A sacrifice fly and an RBI groundout in the seventh made it a 9-0 game and rounded out the scoring.

The Mohawks responded in the home half with three runs on an error and a Brandon Cellucci two-run single but that was all they’d get in the game as Saugerties went on to add three more insurance runs.
