Hudson Valley Renegades News Release
Wappingers Falls, N.Y. - The Hudson Valley Renegades scored their first walk-off win of the season on Saturday night at Dutchess Stadium, dispatching the Greenville Drive 5-4 in 10 innings.
With runners on second and third and no outs in the bottom of the 10th, Eric Wagaman lined a walk-off single to right-center off Robert Kwiatkowski to score Aaron Palensky with the winning run.
The Renegades took the lead in the bottom of the first when Wagaman doubled off the wall in left to chase home MLB rehabber Ben Rortvedt. Cooper Bowman added a solo home run in the third off Tyler Uberstine and James Nelson scored in the fourth when Aldenis Sanchez was caught in a pickle between second and third.
T.J. Sikkema turned in another spectacular outing for the Gades, allowing two runs on only one hit and one walk in a career-high 5.1 innings. The southpaw struck out 10 batters, giving him double-digit strikeouts in back-to-back appearances.
Greenville rallied to tie the game with three runs in the top of the sixth, and the Drive took a 4-3 lead in the eighth on a Gilberto Jimenez RBI double.
Down to their final strike for two consecutive batters, the Renegades rallied to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth when Cody Scroggins walked three and uncorked a wild pitch to score Sanchez with the tying run.
In the bottom of the 10th, Palensky pinch-ran for Rortvedt as the automatic runner and advanced to third on a Seigler single, setting the stage for Wagaman's heroics.
The Renegades complete their homestand against the Greenville Drive on Sunday afternoon at Dutchess Stadium. RHP Josue Panacual (2-2, 3.62) gets the start for Hudson Valley, while LHP Shane Drohan (4-6, 4.11) climbs the mound for Greenville.
