August 7, 2011 - New York-Penn League (NYPL)
Williamsport Crosscutters News Release
The Williamsport Crosscutters saw their three-game winning streak snapped Sunday after they fell 8-4 at home to the Batavia Muckdogs.
The Muckdogs tallied four runs on three hits and a Cutters error to take an early 4-0 lead in the first inning. Virgil Hill's two-run homer to left was the critical hit in the inning.
Williamsport got one back in the bottom of the first, as Pete Lavin led off with a home run to right-center to trim the lead to 4-1. Luis Amaro's sacrifice fly to right in the bottom of the second made it a 4-2 game. The home then tied the game in the fourth, as Lavin and Kyrell Hudson delivered RBI singles to even the score at 4-4.
That score would hold until the seventh, when Cutters lefty Austin Brough was tagged for four unearned runs. A fielding error by Harold Martinez was followed by an RBI double by Garrett Wittels and a three-run homer to left by Romulo Ruiz to make it an 8-4 Batavia lead.
Muckdogs relievers Travis Miller and Javier Avedano combined to fire five shutout innings of relief to keep the Cutters off the board after the fourth inning.
These two teams will square up again here on Monday at 7:05pm. Every Cutters game can be heard on ESPN Radio 104.1 FM, ESPN 1050 AM, or online at crosscutters.com
