Hudson Valley Renegades News Release
ABERDEEN, MD - The Renegades left seven men stranded as they fell to the division rival Aberdeen IronBirds, 2-7, in the season opener Friday night.

Righty Andrew Bellatti and Mickey Jannis combined to close the game out allowing just one run in five innings.

Aberdeen's offensive jumped out to a quick led recording two runs in both the second, third and fourth innings to give the IronBirds a six-run led. The IronBirds' offensive was lead by Austin Knight who recorded a 3-for-4 night with a run scored and one RBI.
Trailing 0-7 entering the ninth inning the Renegades bats showed some life. With two outs and runners on second and third, Brian Bryles doubled to center field to bring the score to its final, 7-2.
