Vermont Lake Monsters News Release


BURLINGTON, VT --- Jonathan Koscso went 3-for-4 with an RBI single and RBI double to lead the Hudson Valley Renegades to a 4-2 New York-Penn League victory over the Vermont Lake Monsters on Monday night at historic Centennial Field.

The Renegades took a 1-0 lead in the second inning on a Koscso's RBI infield single to third base scoring Alejandro Segovia. Vermont was able to tie the game at one in the bottom of the third on a Nick Rickles' bases loaded forceout at second base that scored Michael Fabiaschi, who had led off the inning with a single.

With two outs and no one on in the fourth, Hudson Valley put together three straight hits off Vermont starter J.C. Menna to score two runs. Leonardo Reginatto got the rally started with a single, stole second and scored on a Cesar Guillen RBI single before Koscso's RBI double plated Guillen for a 3-1 lead.

Vermont loaded the bases with one out in the bottom of the fifth, but reliever Ryan Carpenter struckout Rickles and Chad Oberacker to end the threat. Carpenter (2-1) then struckout the side in the sixth to earn his second win of the season.

The Renegades added an insurance run in the seventh as Koscso singled, stole second and scored on a two-out fielding error by second baseman Chih-Fang Pan. Vermont got the run back in the bottom of the eighth on a Dusty Robinson solo home run, his fourth homer of the season for the Lake Monsters.

Robinson and Aaron Shipman both had two hits for Vermont, while Sean Jamieson went 3-for-5 with a double.

Rickles and Pan both went hitless, snapping their hitting streaks of 14 and 13 games respectively. Menna (2-7) allowed three runs on five hits with three walks and three strikeouts over four innings for the loss.

Despite the loss, Vermont (32-29) remains 1 1/2 games in front of the Connecticut Tigers for first-place in the Stedler Division. The Lake Monsters head out on a five roadtrip with three games at Hudson Valley before a two-game series at Connecticut. Vermont returns to Centennial Field on Sunday to face the Tigers in the completion of a suspended game from June and then the regularly-scheduled game.
