Down East Bird Dawgs News Release

POMONA, N.Y. - Christian Adams extended his hit streak to 18 games, but it was not enough to offset a dominant performance from the New York Boulders as Fritz Guenther tied the Frontier League single-game RBI record with 10 - including two home runs - to power New York to a 17-3 blowout victory at Clover Stadium Friday night, dropping the Bird Dawgs to 12-13.

New York erupted for five runs in the third to take an early 5-0 lead before Miller-Green cut it to 5-1 with a solo homer in the fourth. The Boulders added a run later in the fourth and five more in the fifth to stretch the lead to 11-1.

Adams singled in a run, and Miller-Green added a sacrifice fly in the sixth to make it 11-3, but Guenther put the game out of reach with a grand slam and his second homer of the night in the bottom half to push the final to 17-3.

Axel Andueza (1-3) took the loss, allowing six runs on eight hits over four innings with four strikeouts and two walks.

Alex Barker (2-1) earned the win for New York, allowing three runs on six hits over seven innings with two strikeouts and three walks.

The Bird Dawgs (12-13) look to get back to .500 Saturday, June 6, at 6:30 p.m. ET against the Boulders (14-10) at Clover Stadium.
