Niles, Ohio - KC Serna singled down the third baseline with the bases loaded to knock in the winning run in the bottom of the 9th inning to help the Mahoning Valley Scrappers edge the Batavia Muckdogs 12-11 on Sunday evening. Serna, who went 4-5 with an RBI and a walk, knocked in Cody Elliott to end a back-and-forth battle between the Pinckney Division foes.

Enosil Tejeda (1-1) picked up the win for the Scrappers while Adam Bileckyj (0-2) saddled the loss for the Muckdogs. The victory pushed the Scrappers record to 11-6 and the visiting Muckdogs dropped to 7-10.

The Scrappers had a four-run cushion headed into the fourth, but Batavia unleashed five runs in the top half of the inning. Consecutive RBI-singles and a double off of the bat of David Medina, followed by a wild pitch saw the Scrappers lead vanish.

The Scrappers would have a big inning of their own in the sixth as miscues from the Batavia defense led to four runs. Jordan Smith singled on a swinging bunt to bring in a run, and then a throwing error by shortstop Cesar Valera allowed Serna to score. After a John Barr RBI-single, pitcher Travis Miller threw a wild pitch to the backstop to allow Smith to scamper home.

The Scrappers are back in action tomorrow night, July 4, when they travel to Batavia to play the Muckdogs once again. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05.
