WAPPINGERS FALLS, N.Y. - The Hudson Valley Renegades comeback effort fell short as they dropped Thursday night's contest 4-3 to the Brooklyn Cyclones at Heritage Financial Park.
After Zach Messinger (1-8) retired the first six batters of the game, the first four men reached in the third inning. Mateo Gil and César Berbesi worked a pair of walks before Rhylan Thomas singled to load the bases. Gil then scored on a wild pitch by Messinger to hand the Cyclones a 1-0 lead. Kevin Parada hit a sacrifice fly to center to score Thomas, before another wild pitch scored Alex Ramirez, who reached base on a hit by pitch. William Lugo capped off the innings scoring with an RBI single to extened the Cyclones advantage to 4-0.
Blade Tidwell (7-3) kept Hudson Valley off the board until the seventh inning, when Grant Richardson hit an opposite field home run to cut the Cyclones lead to 4-1. After Aldenis Sánchez flied out, Quinn Brodey entered the contest in relief. Eduardo Torrealba doubled and Luis Santos walked to begin Brodey's outing. After Santos was caught stealing second on a double steal attempt, Spencer Jones lashed a single to left field to score Henson and cut the deficit to 4-2.
Agustin Ramirez led off the eighth with solo blast to left field to inch the Renegades closer at 4-3. Hudson Valley had the tying run at the plate on two occasions, but were unable to drive in a run in the frame.
Paul Gervase entered out of the bullpen for Brooklyn and retired the first two hitters before Jones clobbered a ball to right that Thomas made a leaping catch at the fence to take away extra bases and end the contest.
