Tri-City ValleyCats News Release


TROY, NY - Following a power outage caused by heavy storms in the area last night, the Tri-City ValleyCats (45-41) were back to business on Thursday against the New Jersey Jackals (35-50) in a twin bill, thanks to last night's postponement. It was Irish Night at the Joe, featuring a 2021 team poster giveaway, presented by TD Bank.

GAME 1 | TRI-CITY 5 NEW JERSEY 2 | BOX SCORE

The ValleyCats received a dazzling complete game effort from Parker Kelly (7-6), who was rightfully named Johnstone Supply Company's Player of the Game. Kelly threw 7 innings, surrendering 2 runs on 4 hits, striking out 2.

Offensively, Nelson Molina stayed red hot, launching his second three-run home run in as many games to give the 'Cats a lead they would not squander.

GAME 2 | NEW JERSEY 2 TRI-CITY 1 | BOX SCORE

Despite Nelson Molina's third home run in as many games, the ValleyCats struggled to cross home plate in Thursday's finale. New Jersey southpaw Jared Milch (4-4) turned in a stunning complete game, allowing just 4 hits, and 1 run. Following Molina's solo shot in the first, Milch would not allow another run.

Logan Dubbe (3-5) bounced back from a six-run outing his last time out, allowing just 2 runs in 5 innings of work.

The ValleyCats are back for their final homestand of the regular season next week as the rival Sussex County Miners come to town for a midweek set. The playoff push continues with Bark in the Park #2 on Tuesday, Early Oktoberfest on Wednesday, and Fans for Life Night on Thursday.
