Adam Gauthier plated Dominic DiCaprio and Hunter Boose with an RBI triple in the sixth to break the tie and give the Dutchmen the win. Both teams scored runs in the first inning with Albany’s coming on a play in which Patrick Hisle got purposefully caught in a rundown to let Sean Aspinall score and Newark’s coming on a Cody Wiktorski RBI single.

The Mohawks scored the first two runs of the game in the top of the third inning on an error and a Brendan Tracy RBI groundout. It was all Mohawk Valley from there as the DiamondDawgs answered with four runs in the bottom half of the inning on a Sam Machonis RBI single, a Chris Rave two-RBI double and an error. The DiamondDawgs added three more runs in the bottom of the fourth on a Machonis two-RBI double and a Troy Scocca RBI single to extend the lead to 7-2. Scocca drove in the final run of the game in the eighth inning with an RBI double. Payton Coddou struck out seven batters in seven innings of work, giving up two runs (one earned) to get the win. Fernando Guerrero gave up the first seven Mohawk Valley runs to take the loss for Amsterdam. Adirondack 15 Utica 8: The Adirondack Trail Blazers and Utica Brewers combined for 28 hits as the Trail Blazers won the high-scoring affair, 15-8, for their second win in a row. Utica scored the first run of the game in the top of the second inning on a Nick McIntee RBI single. Adirondack took the lead for good in the third, scoring four runs on a Bryan Haberstroh two-RBI double, an Evan Alderman RBI double and a Nick Fanneron RBI single. A Ryan Rosas RBI double got a run back for Utica in the fourth, but Adirondack answered with another four-run inning with the runs coming on an Alderman RBI single and a Chris Kwitzer three-run home run. The Brewers scored four runs in the seventh on a bases loaded walk, an Ismael Herrera RBI single, a wild pitch and an RBI groundout. A Ryan Paige RBI double, a Ryan Dorow two-RBI double, a Kwitzer three-RBI triple and an RBI groundout gave the Trail Blazers a seven-run inning to seal the win. An Adam Pexton two-RBI single in the eighth got two runs back for Utica, but it wasn’t nearly enough as Adirondack prevailed. Will Jahn allowed two runs (both earned) in six innings of work to get the win for Adirondack, while Peter Beattie gave up five Adirondack runs to take the loss. Elmira 16 Saugerties 10: In another high-scoring game, the Elmira Pioneers beat the Saugerties Stallions, 16-10, at Dunn Field. The 16 runs tie the Pioneers’ season high. The Pioneers got out to an early 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first on a Christian Santisteban two-RBI double and an RBI groundout. A John Giakas RBI single in the third got a run back for Saugerties. Then in the fourth, Tommy Mirabelli hit an RBI single, an error plated a run as did a Sam Clark RBI single, a wild pitch scored another and finally an RBI groundout scored the fifth run of the inning. The next big Elmira inning came in the seventh as Clark hit a two-RBI single and two bases loaded walks plated two runs. Saugerties came back in the next half inning with a six spot, with Nick Russo hitting an RBI single, Taylor Luckenbill driving in two runs with a single, All-Star Joe Venturino hitting an RBI single and All-Star Dylan Sprague hitting a two-RBI single. The Pioneers responded with another four-run inning as a Taylor Hillson RBI single, an error scored two runs and a Rob Perteet RBI single accounted for the four runs. Saugerties scored three in the top of the ninth on a Keith Andrews RBI single and a Sprague two-RBI single, but it wasn’t enough. Kyano Cummings struck out nine batters in six innings of one-run ball to get the win. Cummings now has 64 strikeouts on the season, tying him for the second-most in a PGCBL regular season.
