Sussex Skyhawks News Release
AUGUSTA, N.J. - *Every Sussex starter picked up at least one base hit as the Skyhawks dismantled the Atlantic City Surf 9-2 on Sunday afternoon at Skylands Park.
Centerfielder Ron Perodin went three for five with an RBI to lead the Skyhawks offensively. Shortstop Kevin Rios and catcher Yohanny Valera each drove in two runs for Sussex.
Craig Snipp gave up one run on nine hits over seven innings to pick up the win for Sussex. Charlie Ruud gave up seven runs over 5.2 innings in the losing effort for the Surf.
The Skyhawks put runs on the board in each of the first four innings to jump out to a 5-1 lead. Sussex scored two runs in the bottom of the first when Matt Weston stroked a single that scored Rios from second. Jorge Moreno slid into third on the play, but the throw from left field skipped behind the bag and Moreno was able to score giving the Skyhawks a 2-1 lead. Perodin drove in Jay Yaconetti with a single in the second. Alex Frazier drove in Weston in the third, and Rios doubled home Perodin in the fourth to make it 5-1.
The Skyhawks added two more runs in both the bottom of the seventh and bottom of the eighth to secure the win.
Atlantic City travels to Nashua to play a doubleheader on Monday. The Skyhawks also return to action on Monday at 7 p.m. at the New Jersey Jackals. The Skyhawks are in the midst of the playoff hunt and are looking to return to Skylands Park in the post season.
