Vermont Lake Monsters News Release


FISHKILL, NY --- Hudson Valley snapped a 4-4 tie with RBI singles from Craige Lyerly and Alejandro Segovia in the bottom of the seventh inning as the Renegades beat the Vermont Lake Monsters 6-4 in New York-Penn League action Thursday night at Dutchess Stadium.

Brian Bryles led off the seventh with a double off Lake Monster reliever Nathan Kilcrease (2-3) and scored on Lyerly's RBI single for a 5-4 Hudson Valley lead. After a strikeout and popout, Segovia grounded a single to center scoring Lyerly with an unearned run for a two-run lead.

That unearned run would prove to be the difference as Robinson led off the ninth with his sixth home run of the season. It was the second straight game that Robinson has hit a home run and his fourth homer in the last six games. The Lake Monsters got the tying run to second and go ahead run to first with two outs in the top of the ninth, but Justin Woodall struckout Sean Jamieson to end the game.

The Renegades had built a 4-1 lead with two runs in the first inning and two more runs in the fifth on RBI singles from Lyerly and Juniel Querecuto. Vermont, which had scored an unearned run in the third on a Bobby Crocker RBI single, tied the game 4-4 with three runs (two unearned) in the top of the sixth.

Aaron Shipman led off the inning with a single and moved to third when Crocker reached on a fielding error by first baseman Jeff Malm. Nick Rickles followed with a two-run double, his ninth of the season, to center and scored the tying run one out later on a Jordan Tripp squeeze bunt. 

Lyerly went 2-for-3 with two runs and two RBI, while Lenny Linsky (3-0) allowed three runs (one earned) on three hits with four strikeouts over three innings of relief to pick up the win for Hudson Valley (32-33), which won the last two games to split the six-game series with Vermont. 

Vermont (33-31) now heads to Connecticut just one-half game in front of the Tigers (32-31) for first-place in Stedler Division. The Lake Monsters will play single games at Connecticut on Friday and Saturday before the series switches to historic Centennial Field Sunday and Monday. The teams are scheduled to complete a suspended game from June and then play a seven-inning contest on Sunday before a nine-inning game Monday.
