Hudson Valley Renegades News Release
Fishkill, NY --- f2B Ignacio Suarez hit an RBI single to right field in the top of the 13th inning tonight in front of a capacity crowd of 4,494 at Dutchess Stadium, scoring RF Brandon Moss with what proved to be the winning run as the Lowell Spinners beat the Hudson Valley Renegades 3-2.

Zak Basch pitched the bottom of the 13th to pick up his sixth save of the year.
Credit for tonight's game going to extra innings goes to 'Gades RF Matt Rico. With one out in the bottom of the 9th and the Renegades down 2-1, Rico blasted a Brian Marshall pitch over the left field wall to tie the game. The home run was the sixth of the season for Rico. The Spinners got on the board first, plating two runs in the top of the first on a double steal in which CF Kevin Jordan stole home and an RBI single from 3B Claudio Arias. The 'Gades got a run back in the third frame on 2B Fernando Puebla's RBI groundout. Rico finished the night 3 for 5 with an RBI and a run scored. SS Aneudi Cuevas and CF Nate Dion each got their sixth triples of the season tonight on Baseball Card Night, sponsored by Vac Services and WRRV.
