Rockland County, NY - Zach Kirtley singled in Austin Dennis with the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the New York Boulders a 6-5 Frontier League win over the Tri-City Valley Cats on Wednesday at Palisades Credit Union Park.

Dennis had led off the inning with a double off the left field wall. Milton Smith, Jr.'s sacrifice bunt moved Dennis over to third. Tri-City pitcher Trey Cochran-Glll walked Tucker Nathans intentionally to face KIrtley, who responded with the game-winning hit.

James Mulry pitched a perfect ninth inning to pick up the win for the Boulders, their second straight as they moved to the ,500 mark on the year at 3-3.

Cochran-Gill took the loss.

The Boulders had tied the game at 5-5 with a run in the bottom of the seventh. Dennis was hit by a Eddy Tavarez pitch leading off the stanza. He advanced to second on a wild pitch and then stole third.

After Smith, Jr. drew a walk, Trey Cochran-Gill relieved Tavarez and surrendered a game-tying sacrifice fly to Nathans.

Tri-City grabbed a 1-0 lead in the top of the first when Steve Figueroa, who led off the game with an opposite field triple down the line in left, scored on a groundout by Juan Silverio.

The Boulders responded with four in their half of the first, all the runs coming with two outs - a pair on a single by Jack Sundberg and the other two coming on a double by Zach Penprase.

However, the Valley Cats came right back in the second frame, tying the game at 4-4 on a three-run homer by Keaton Weisz.

Tri-City took the lead at 5-4 in the fourth inning on a two-out RBI single by Figueroa. That hit also ended Boulders' starter Matt Valin's night.

Orsen Josephina came on to replace Valin and was splendid, going 4 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing just two hits and striking out six.

The Boulders and Valley Cats conclude their three-game series on Thursday, first pitch is set for 6:30 p.m.
