FISHKILL, NY - The Hudson Valley Renegades wasted no time in the first game of their doubleheader against the Aberdeen IronBirds. A four-run first inning propelled the ‘Gades to a 9-2 victory.

Emeel Salem got the ball rolling as he singled off of Aberdeen's left-hander Zach Britton to start the inning. Britton proceeded to walk Cody Cipriano and Maiko Loyola to load the bases. Mike McCormick then singled home Salem to plate the first run. Stephen Vogt capped off the frame with a three-run double to make it 4-0.

Britton (4-4) lasted just one inning as he was relieved by Ryan Stadanlick. The offensive barrage did not let up as McCormick, Vogt, Henry Wrigley and Reid Fronk each reached base via hits to start the third inning. Kevin Colon, Salem and Cipriano each delivered run-scoring hits to make it a 9-1 ball game.

Renegades starter Alex Cobb improved to 4-3 with the win. He was in control as he allowed just two runs on three hits over five innings of work. Cobb struck out four batters and lowered his ERA to 2.90.
