Hudson Valley Renegades News Release


Wappingers Falls, N.Y. - The Hudson Valley Renegades saw their nine-game winning streak come to an end on Wednesday night, falling 11-5 to the Brooklyn Cyclones at Heritage Financial Park in 10 innings.

The Renegades led 4-0 through six innings, holding the Cyclones to just three hits across those frames.

Brooklyn scored two runs in the seventh and two in the eighth to force extra innings. The Renegades had the winning run in scoring position in both the eighth and the ninth but couldn't bring it home.

Brooklyn batted around in the top of the tenth inning, sending 11 to the plate and scoring seven runs on four hits with four walks.

Hudson Valley moves to 7-7 this season in extra-inning games, breaking their streak of three straight extra-inning game wins (all of which came on the road).

The Renegades have won 14 of their last 17 games, their best 17-game stretch of the season, an .824 winning percentage.

The Renegades move to 13-6 overall against Brooklyn, 6-2 at home, and 3-2 in the second half.

Hudson Valley is now 38-23 when it scores first.

The Renegades did not get a hit from innings six through nine. They got one in the bottom of the tenth inning.

Brooklyn did not get a base runner to second base until the fifth inning. That one runner was the Cyclones' only to reach second until they scored their first run in the seventh.
