Hudson Valley Renegades News Release
ROME, Ga. - The Hudson Valley Renegades fell to the Rome Braves 8-1 on Wednesday night at AdventHealth Stadium. The defeat halted a three-game winning streak for Hudson Valley.
Blane Abeyta turned in a solid outing in his Renegades debut, allowing two runs on four hits in 4.0 innings, walking one and striking out four. The only blemish against his record was a two-run double by Beau Philip in the bottom of the second, which gave the Braves a 2-0 lead.
The Renegades chipped away in the top of the fourth when Everson Pereira walked, and advanced to second on a Cooper Bowman infield single. He came home to score when T.J. Rumfield bounced an infield single to third that was mishandled by Justyn-Henry Malloy for an error that allowed Pereira to score and cut the gap to 2-1.
Rumfield led the way offensively for Hudson Valley, finishing 2-for-3 with a walk. He is a red-hot 7-for-8 in the first two games of the series.
The game remained tight until the bottom of the sixth, when Bryson Horne drove in Drew Campbell with an RBI single off Tanner Myatt. Rome broke the game open with four runs in the bottom of the seventh, with a three-run home run from Landon Stephens off Wellington Diaz serving as the big blow in the frame.
Bryan Blanton surrendered a run in the eighth for the final Braves tally of the night. In the top of the ninth, Rumfield drew a two-out walk, but Austin Smith navigated around that to close out the win.
