Wappingers Falls, N.Y. - The Hudson Valley Renegades fell 9-2 to the Jersey Shore BlueClaws on Thursday night at Heritage Financial Park, dropping their second straight game.

In the first, three straight singles by Bryan Rincon, Devin Saltiban, and Paul McIntosh loaded the bases with one out. Bryson Ware was then hit by a pitch to force in a run and make it 1-0 Jersey Shore.

Zach Arnold was hit by a pitch to lead off the second. Luis Caicuto singled to put runners at first and second, and Bryan Rincon drove home pinch runner Raylin Heredia.

The BlueClaws scored four runs in the fourth. Heredia singled, Caicuto reached on a catcher's interference, and Carson DeMartini walked to load the bases. Rincon knocked in Heredia and Caicuto with a two-run double. Martini scored on an RBI double from Devin Saltiban, making it 6-0 Jersey Shore.
