Hudson Valley Renegades News Release
Jhailyn Ortiz homered twice and drove in four runs as the Jersey Shore BlueClaws topped the Hudson Valley Renegades, 8-2, on Friday night.
Ortiz hit his first home run of the night in the second inning, while the Claws added two more on a Herbert Iser single in the fourth to open a 3-0 lead. The Renegades answered in the fifth on an RBI double by Kyle MacDonald and a sacrifice fly from Ezequiel Duran.
Trailing by one in the eighth, the Blue Claws exploded for five in the frame, highlighted by a three-run shot from Ortiz. A double from Iser added two more runs.
Jonathan Hughes picked up the win in relief to improve to 3-3. Hughes pitched the final four innings and struck out five. Reid Anderson started for the Renegades and took the loss (0-1). He went 3.2 innings and allowed three runs.
Friday's game was supposed to be part of a doubleheader but it was decided that the field at FirstEnergy Park could only handle one game due to wet grounds. The scheduled doubleheader has been moved to Saturday beginning at 5:05 p.m.
Per the State of New York, the Renegades are now open at 100% capacity. Tickets continue to be a tremendous value starting as low as $6. Visit HVRenegades.com for ticket information and so much more.
