Last Night’s Games:

Mohawk Valley 5 Utica 0: The Mohawk Valley DiamondDawgs used a strong start and late runs to go on and shut out the Utica Brewers in Utica, 5-0.

Matt Pagano scored the third run of the game in the top of the eighth and the DiamondDawgs added two more in the ninth on a wild pitch and a Sam Machonis RBI single.

Jake Amoroso allowed the two runs in the sixth inning to take the loss for Utica.

Then in the fifth, a wild pitch, a groundout, a Jake Vieth RBI single and a Dylan Robinson two-RBI single made it an 8-1 game. Saugerties got a run back in the seventh and two more back in the ninth, but it wasn’t enough as Glens Falls earned the win.

Alex Yarem allowed one run in 6.1 innings of work for Glens Falls, getting the win. On the other side, Ben Contento allowed three runs (two earned) to take the loss.

Adirondack 10 Victor 1: A seven-run fourth inning propelled the Adirondack Trail Blazers to a 10-1 home win over the Victor RailRiders. 

The game was scoreless until Adirondack’s big inning. Brendan Looby hit an RBI double, Brad Jones hit a two-RBI single, Shane Allen hit a two-RBI double and Brett Connors hit a two-RBI double to make up the seven-run inning.

Victor scored its only run in the top of the seventh on an Evan Fernandez RBI double. In the home half of the inning, Adirondack finished the game’s scoring with a sacrifice fly and a Bobbly Slagle two-run home run.

Ryan Aquino tossed six scoreless innings to earn the win for Adirondack while John Saviano took the loss for Victor.

In the bottom of the ninth, a Will LaRue double, Timmy Mirabelli single and Christian Santisteban walk loaded the bases for Taylor Hillson, who promptly hit a walk-off RBI single giving Elmira the win.

Newark scored the first run of the game in the top of the third on a Kyle Norman RBI single. A bases-clearing, three-RBI double by Christian Santisteban gave Elmira the lead in the bottom half of the inning.
