WAPPINGERS FALLS, N.Y. - Led by a 10-run, seven-hit bottom of the seventh inning, the Hudson Valley Renegades scored a 15-1 blowout win over the Jersey Shore BlueClaws on Thursday night at Dutchess Stadium.
Hudson Valley starter Beck Way turned in a second consecutive stellar outing, tossing 5.1 shutout innings, allowing three hits and walking one while striking out five. In the month of June, Way (3-2) has thrown 10.1 scoreless frames, allowing just seven hits and two walks while striking out 12.
Spencer Henson slammed on opposite field home run in the bottom of the second to give Hudson Valley a 1-0 lead. The round-tripper was Henson's fifth of the season. It was the beginning of a big night for Henson, who finished 3-for-3 with three runs scored, a double, a home run, an RBI, and two walks.
In a preview of what was to come, the Renegades scored four runs in the bottom of the fourth against Cristian Hernandez. Aldenis Sanchez rocked a two-run double to right center and scored on an Aaron Palensky double. Eduardo Torrealba chased Palensky home with a base hit to grow the lead to 5-0.
In the bottom of the seventh, Hudson Valley blew the game open against Carlos Francisco and Jonathan Hughes. The Gades sent 16 batters to the plate scoring 10 runs in the inning, including nine before an out was recorded. The explosion was highlighted by a two-run inside-the-park home run by Eric Wagaman as the Renegades took a commanding 15-0 lead.
The BlueClaws got on the board in the top of the eighth, when Uziel Viloria hit a solo home run off Charlie Ruegger to cut the deficit to 15-1. Carlos Gomez closed out the game with a scoreless ninth inning.
Eight of the nine Renegades batters collected at least one hit, with Sanchez finishing 3-for-5 with a double, two runs scored, three RBIs and two stolen bases. Wagaman and Torrealba also contributed two hits apiece.
