Hudson Valley Renegades News Release


Frederick, MD - The Hudson Valley Renegades lost the series opener to the Frederick Keys 7-3 at Nymeo Field on Tuesday night.

The Renegades were within two of the Keys for the first six innings of the game, but two Keys runs in the bottom of the seventh and one in the bottom of the eighth put it out of reach.

Just three Renegades grabbed hits on Tuesday night; however, two of them (Core Jackson and Kyle West) ripped an extra base hit.

Renegades pitchers failed to strike out 10+ batters for just the 17th time this season.

Hudson Valley moves to 4-9 against the Keys this season, and 4-3 against them at Nymeo Field. The win tonight for Frederick clinched at least a tie of the 18-game season series.
