Mahoning Valley Scrappers News Release


Niles, Ohio - The Mahoning Valley Scrappers tallied eight hits in their game Saturday night against Batavia, but timely hitting and patience at the plate proved a bit too much to overcome as the Muckdogs took the first in a two-game series 8-3.

Joseph Colon (0-2) got off to a rocky start for the Scrappers in the first inning, giving up three runs and getting to the end of the Batavia lineup before recording the third out. Batavia starter Todd McInnis (1-0) gave up a run in his first frame when a Jake Lowery double scored Bryson Myles from second base. Both pitchers settled in after that, but with 81 pitches and four runs surrendered, Colon left the game after just three and two-thirds innings.

Shortstop Tony Wolters hit his first home run of the year off Batavia reliever Eric Binder in the bottom of the sixth and Jake Lowery scored on an Alex Lavisky ground rule double, but those would be the last Scrapper runs of the game. Batavia would add another run in the seventh inning and three more in the ninth.

The second game of the two-game series is Sunday, July 3 at Eastwood Field. First Pitch is scheduled for 5:05pm.
