The Pioneers scored the first run of the game in the top of the second on a Jordan Bishop RBI single.

Dominick Bregar drew a bases loaded walk and Mason McClellan hit a three-RBI double to account for the four runs.

Mike Stephens tossed two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win and Michael Scarinci struck out two in a scoreless ninth to notch the save. Connor Gibson allowed the sixth Elmira run to take the loss. 

Amsterdam 6 Mohawk Valley 0: The Amsterdam Mohawks did not allow a hit until the eighth inning as four pitchers combined on a three-hit shutout of the Mohawk Valley DiamondDawgs. 

Fernando Guerrero struck out seven batters in six scoreless, no-hit innings and was reliever by Joe Nellis, who struck out two in a scoreless inning. Joe Randall allowed the first hit of the game in the eighth innings, but held the DiamondDawgs scoreless to set the table for a Kyle Smith scoreless ninth.

The game was scoreless until the bottom of the fifth when Amsterdam scored three runs on a Handsome Monica solo home run, a Riley Mahan RBI single and a Craig Dedelow sacrifice fly. The lead was extended to 5-0 in the sixth on a Monica two-run shot and the scoring concluded in the seventh on a Brendan Tracy RBI single.

Adam Ashenfarb took the loss for Mohawk Valley.

Saugerties 4 Glens Falls 2: The Glens Falls Dragons saw their four-game win streak slip away as the Saugerties Stallions scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh to beat the Dragons, 4-2.

Dylan Sprague hit a two-RBI single in the seventh to give the Stallions the lead and Chris Reynolds promptly drove him in for an insurance run. Saugerties’ other run came in the fifth on an RBI groundout.

Glens Falls scored its two runs in the top of the fourth on an error and a Colby Stratten RBI single.

The Trail Blazers struck first with two runs in the top of the second on a Brett Connors RBI single and an Evan Alderman bases loaded walk. Albany cut the lead in half in the fourth on an Eric Mueller RBI single to left, but Adirondack responded in the next half inning on another Connors RBI single.
