The Hudson Valley Renegades won their third game in four tries against the Vermont Lake Monsters this season, 4-3, in front of 3,444 at Dutchess Stadium.

The 'Gades scored all of the runs they needed in the bottom of the first inning on two hits, an error, three walks, and a hit batsman. The inning started with a Robby Price walk, and a Dio Luis bunt for a single. Price later came in on Phil Wunderlich's single, and Luis scored on a wild pitch. Later, Elias Otero walked with the bases loaded, scoring Wunderlich, and Kyle Lusson walked to bring in Mayo Acosta. After one inning of play, the Renegades led 4-0.

Hudson Valley starter Jimmy Patterson (W, 2-1) continued his outstanding season, allowing four hits in five shutout innings. Devin Fuller relieved Patterson, allowing two runs in two innings. Omar Bencomo relieved Fuller.

After Vermont scored twice in the sixth inning and once in the ninth, Hudson Valley led 4-3. Adam Liberatore came on in the ninth inning for the Renegades, and promptly induced a double play and a flyout to right field. The lefthander from Tennessee Tech earned his second save in three opportunities.

Dio Luis collected a pair of hits for the Renegades, and pinch-hitter/designated hitter Junior Rodriguez doubled, his first extra base hit for Hudson Valley. Brian Bryles made a run-saving, diving catch in center field, and Burt Reynolds (tied Schwaner for the team lead with his 11 th stolen base of the season tonight) made a shoestring catch in right field to end the game.

After 50 games, the Renegades are 26-24, equaling their high-water mark for the season. They improve to 7-4 (.636) in August, 12-8 (.600) in one run games this season, 19-1 (.950) when leading after 8 innings, and 19-7 (.731) when scoring first.

The Lake Monsters and Renegades meet again tomorrow night at 7:05 pm in the second game of the series.
