Wappingers Falls, N.Y. - The Hudson Valley Renegades lost their third-straight game to the Wilmington Blue Rocks on Sunday afternoon, 5-2 at Heritage Financial Park, and lost five of six in the series.
Hudson Valley had the tying run up to the plate with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning. Wilmington pitcher Brady Hill struck out each of the last two batters to strand two Renegades on base and earn the save.
Renegades pitching struck out double-digit batters for a seventh time on Sunday afternoon.
Despite grabbing only four hits, just three Renegades batters failed to get themselves on first base this afternoon.

RHP Tony Rossi (1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 0 HR) picked up his third clean appearance of the season.
Rossi went three up, three down in the top of the ninth to keep the Renegades within three runs heading into the last half inning.
Rossi has recorded at least one strikeout in each of his appearances this season.
DH Core Jackson (1-for-3, BB) got the Renegades' first hit of the day with a lead-off single in the bottom of the fourth inning.
Jackson grabbed hits in each of the last four games of the six-game series against Wilmington.

Jackson was one of three Renegades to make it to first base twice.
3B Roderick Arias (1-for-3, 2 RBI) brought home the only two runs of the day for Hudson Valley in the bottom of the eighth.
Arias extended his on-base streak to four-straight with the late hit.
Arias went 3-for-7 across the final two games of the series with four RBI.
RF Wilson Rodriguez (1-for-3, HBP) has hits in consecutive games for the first time this season.
