Wappingers Falls, NY - The Hudson Valley Renegades drew closer to a playoff spot on Wednesday night with a 3-0 victory over the Asheville Tourists at Heritage Financial Park. With the victory, their magic number for a playoff spot is down to 1.

The Renegades jumped in front 1-0 in the first. George Lombard drew a one-out walk and Josh Moylan lined an RBI double to center in the ensuing at-bat to bring in Lombard.

Trent Sellers continued his outstanding stretch of pitching. The right-hander allowed just two hits in 3.2 scoreless innings while striking out a career-high eight batters. Since June 25, Sellers has allowed just two earned runs in 46.2 frames, good for a 0.38 ERA.

After a Jackson Castillo single in the seventh, Dylan Jasso lined a ground-rule double to right to put runners at second and third. Castillo scored on a balk with Coby Morales at the plate before Morales singled home Jasso to make it 3-0 Renegades.
