Albany Dutchmen 4 @ Amsterdam Mohawks 5
The East division leaders squared off in Amsterdam in a matchup that didn’t disappoint. Albany jumped out to an early 4-1 lead before Amsterdam closed the gap late, scoring three runs in the 8th inning to tie the game before the eventual walk off single by Cameron Love (Rutgers). The Mohawks maintain the league’s best record at 21-4.
Auburn DoubleDays 3 @ Newark Pilots 8
The Pilots busted things open in the 4th inning, putting up a 5 spot on the board, and never looked back en-route to a 5-3 win. Each team traded runs in the 2nd inning before the scoring got going for Newark. Chris Lowe (Emerson College) continued his dominance on the mound this summer, throwing 7.0 innings, allowing only 3R and 7H to go with 5K.
Oneonta Outlaws 16 @ Glens Falls Dragons 10
The Outlaws got out to a hot start, scoring 5 runs in the top of the first inning and never looked back. Glens Falls tried to rally, putting up crooked numbers in the 2nd (2), 3rd (4), and 5th (4) innings. However, Oneonta poured it on late, putting up 10 runs in the final 2 frames. Nine Outlaw hitters combined for a total of 12 hits.
Geneva Red Wings 11 @ Elmira Pioneers 5
Geneva jumped out to an early lead to pick up the road win in a midweek game that attracted over 1,800 fans in Elmira. The Red Wings had four players pick up two hits apiece including Mark Trotta (William & Mary), Max Hitman (St. Mary’s), Nick Castellana (Niagara U.), & Cole Fleming (NJIT).
Boonville Baseball Club 4 @ Mohawk Valley DiamondDawgs 5
Mohawk Valley starter, Hayden Duke (UMass Lowell), pitched an absolute gem, recording a whopping 16 K in 6.0 IP. Even with the great start, the DiamondDawgs needed a rally in the bottom of the 9th to pick up 3 runs for the walk off win. Brady Fureno (LeMoyne College) provided the walk off heroics with the bases loaded, game winning single.
Batavia Muckdogs 12 @ Jamestown Tarp Skunks 6

Utica was the league’s hottest team coming into tonight’s matchup, after breaking the league’s historical win streak record with 14 wins in a row. They suffered their first setback in 15 tries tonight, falling to the Rapids after Watertown put up a seven spot in the bottom of the 8th inning.
