Aberdeen IronBirds News Release


Game One

Summary

The IronBirds dropped a 15-inning, rain suspended affair on Sunday to the Hudson Valley Renegades by a final of 2-1. Inclement weather paused things in the bottom of the seventh inning on Saturday, but the game resumed on Sunday afternoon and took 15 innings to complete.

Taking The Lead

Ronarsy Ledesma gave the IronBirds an early 1-0 lead with a triple to score Ademar Rifaela. Manny Sanchez misplayed the ball coming in too far, allowing the ball to soar over his head giving Rifaela enough time to score from second base.

Leveling The Playing Field

Hudson Valley tied the score at 1-1 when Jake Cronenworth scored off of a double to centerfield from Angel Moreno.

Welcome Back

LHP Travis Seabrooke took the mound after a year off rehabbing an injury. Seabrooke pitched a career-high five innings, allowing only one earned run with another career-high five strikeouts.

Going The Distance

The rain delay suspended the game on Saturday, to Sunday afternoon where the game went into extra innings. The IronBirds had their chances to score in the thirteenth inning where they loaded the bases twice, once with no outs, but were unable to score.

Decisive Blow

The Renegades broke their drought in the fifteenth when Danny De La Calle hit a single to right field to score Alex Schmidt from second.

Game Two

Summary

The IronBirds were swept away in the opening series by the Hudson Valley Renegades on Sunday evening, falling by a final of 9-1 in a seven-inning game.

Quick Deficit

Taylor Hawkins followed with an RBI double to make the score 2-0.

The scoring continued in the fourth inning with a pair of RBI singles from Jake Cronenworth and Jose Paez increasing the score to 4-0.

The fifth inning saw two more runs from the Renegades with an RBI double from Nic Wilson to score Taylor Hawkins, and an RBI single from Cade Gotta to score Nic Wilson.

It's a Start

A Valley Too Deep
