In the top of the fourth inning with the Boulders leading 3-1, Milton Smith, Jr.'s single was followed by a walk to Jack Sundberg. Mitchell then blasted his 11th round tripper of the season to increase the New York advantage to 6-1.
Trailing 1-0 in the second, the Boulders scored three runs to grab the lead. Gian Martellini's RBI singled leveled the scoreboard at 1-1 before successive bases loaded walks to Smith, Jr. and Sundberg made it a 3-1 game.
Miners' starter Cesar Rosado surrendered those six runs, exiting after the fourth inning. He allowed eight hits, walked six and struck out two in his Sussex County debut.
