Renegades starter Sebasitan Keene left with the trainer in the second inning and gave way to Trent Sellers, who got the last out of the second inning.
Both teams scored in the third. Hudson Valley got a run on a swinging bunt from Roc Riggio to take a 1-0 lead. They had second and third after a throwing error on that play, but Braeden Fausnaught got the last three outs and stranded the two runners. Jersey Shore then tied the game in the bottom of the inning when Justin Crawford stole third and scored on a throwing error.
