Wilmington, Del. - The Hudson Valley Renegades fell to the Wilmington Blue Rocks 16-9 in their series finale on Sunday at Frawley Stadium.

Trey Sweeney led off the game with a long solo home run to right off Michael Cuevas, setting the tone for a three-run first inning. T.J. Rumfield dunked an RBI single to center, and Spencer Henson lifted a sacrifice fly to give the Renegades a 3-0 lead.

Wilmington struck for a run in the bottom of the first, when Matt Sauer walked the first four batters he faced. The right-hander settled down from there to limit the damage to just that run.

Rumfield and Henson each drove in runs in the top of the third, but the Blue Rocks erupted for five runs in the bottom of the frame off Sauer to take a 6-5 lead. After a Trey Sweeney double tied the game in the fourth, Wilmington pulled away with two runs off Charlie Ruegger (2-2).

The Blue Rocks broke the game open with four runs in the bottom of the fifth and three more in the bottom of the seventh against a combination of Carlos Gomez and Nelson Alvarez.

Hudson Valley chipped away with two runs in the sixth on a two-run single by Jasson Dominguez, and got a run in the ninth on Pat DeMarco's first home run of the season, but ultimately came up short.

Sweeney finished the game 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, two RBIs and two runs scored. Dominguez has now hit in all three games that he has played with the Renegades.

Hudson Valley pitchers allowed a new season-high in runs, and tied season highs in hits allowed (14), walks (10) and home runs allowed (4).

The Renegades enjoy a day off on Monday before returning to action at Dutchess Stadium on Tuesday night against the Brooklyn Cyclones. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m., with pregame coverage on the Renegades Baseball Network starting at 6:45. For tickets and more information, slide to www.hvrenegades.com.
