WAPPINGERS FALLS, NY - Three Hudson Valley pitchers combined on a four-hitter, while the Renegades offense took advantage of eight walks and four Vermont errors leading to seven unearned runs in an 11-0 shutout victory and three-game sweep of Vermont Saturday night in New York-Penn League action at Dutchess Stadium.

The Renegades jumped out to a 1-0 lead in bottom of first inning on a force attempt throwing error by Vermont starter Adam Reuss. Hudson Valley added a second run in the third on a two-out solo homer from Tyler Frank for a 2-0 advantage.

Reuss allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits with three strikeouts over 3 2/3 innings before wildness from relievers Brandon Marsonek and Jeferson Mejia led to nine Hudson Valley runs combined in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings.

Hudson Valley got a run in the fifth on a Chris Betts two-out RBI single off Marsonek, who had earlier issued a leadoff walk and two-out base on balls. Two more walks by Marsonek and another force attempt error in the sixth was followed to a Mejia bases loaded walk and run-scoring wild pitch to give the Renegades a 5-0 lead.

Then in the seventh Mejia walked three more batters, including another bases loaded base on balls and run-scoring wild pitch before the Hudson Valley scored three more runs on a Bryce Brown single that included a fielding error by centerfielder Jeramiah McCray, one of four Vermont errors on the night, for the 11-0 advantage.
