Lake Monsters Drop 3-1 Decision At Hudson Valley

Vermont Lake Monsters News Release


FISHKILL, NY --- Andrew Bellatti allowed one run on two hits over six innings for the win and Alejandro Segovia hit a two-run homer to lead the Hudson Valley Renegades to a 3-1 victory over the Vermont Lake Monsters in New York-Penn League action Wednesday night at Dutchess Stadium.

The Renegades got a run in the bottom of the first off Vermont starter Tyler Vail as Jonathan Koscso led off the inning with a single, moved to second on a groundout and third on a wild pitch before scoring on a Jeff Malm RBI single to centerfield.

Malm led off the bottom of the fourth with a walk and was erased on a forceout, but Lake Monster first baseman Jacob Tanis was charged with a dropped catch error as Vermont tried to complete the double play. That error proved costly as Segovia followed with a two-run homer to leftfield for a 3-0 Renegades lead.

Vermont got its only run and its first hit of the game with one-out in the fifth inning on a Dusty Robinson home run, his fifth homer in just 25 games this season for the Lake Monsters. Vermont had the tying runs in scoring position with one out in the sixth, but Bellatti got Aaron Shipman to flyout and Chad Oberacker to ground out to end the Lake Monsters last good chance to tie the game.

Bellatti (3-4) walked two and struckout six in his six innings for his third win, while Stayton Thomas allowed two hits and struckout three in three innings of relief for his second save. Vail (1-5) gave up three runs (two earned) on three hits with one walk and five strikeouts over five innings for the loss. 

Vermont (33-30), which has won three of the first five games in the six-game series with the Renegades, will wrap up the series at Hudson Valley on Thursday at 7:05 pm. The first-place Lake Monsters then head to second-place Connecticut for single games against the Tigers on Friday and Saturday before the series switches to Vermont Sunday and Monday.
