Hudson Valley Renegades News Release
Lakewood, N.J. - The Hudson Valley Renegades used stellar pitching and early offense to score an 8-0 win over the Jersey Shore BlueClaws on Monday night at ShoreTown Ballpark. The victory was the sixth shutout win of the year for the Renegades.
Blane Abeyta turned in his best start of the season, throwing 6.0 shutout innings, allowing just four hits, walking one and striking out five. Abeyta (1-6) scattered just four singles and got stronger as the night went on, recording four of his strikeouts in his final three innings pitched.
Carlos Narvaez gave the Renegades the lead in the top of the second, when he brought in a run with a bases-loaded groundout against Matt Russell. That was the beginning of a big night for Narvaez, who finished 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBIs and two walks.
Hudson Valley exploded for four runs in the third, sending nine to the plate to take an early 5-0 lead. Trey Sweeney and Cooper Bowman kicked off the inning with back-to-back doubles, then Everson Pereira drove in Bowman with a triple to center. A Tyler Hardman sacrifice fly and Narvaez single brought in the other two runs of the frame.
Narvaez led off the sixth with a monster home run into the batter's eye in center, and Cristian Perez doubled and scored on a Sweeney single to run the lead to 7-0. The Gades added an insurance run in the ninth on a Perez RBI single.
Nelson Alvarez, Carlos Gomez and Charlie Ruegger combined to close out the game with one scoreless inning each. Alvarez's appearance set a new Renegades franchise record as it was his 49th pitching appearance, the most of any pitcher in team history.
Hudson Valley enjoys a day off Tuesday before returning to action against Jersey Shore on Wednesday morning. The Renegades send RHP Matt Sauer (4-1, 3.36) to the mound, while the BlueClaws counter with LHP Rafael Marcano, who makes his first start with Jersey Shore. First pitch is scheduled for 11:05 a.m., with coverage beginning at 10:45 on the Renegades Baseball Network.
