Rockland County, NY - Martin Figueroa drove in four runs and Mikey Reynolds had four hits and knocked in a pair as the Sussex County Miners defeated the New York Boulders 8-4 at Clover Stadium in Pomona on Thursday night.
The game, which drew 4,512 fans, was the season opener for both teams as the 2022 Frontier League season kicked off.

Meanwhile, Reynolds's solo home run brought the Miners within 3-2 in the third inning. Reynolds also scored in the fifth, seventh and ninth innings, his fifth inning single knocking in a run.
Isaias Quiroz added a seventh inning solo home run in the seventh for Sussex County.
