TROY, NY - The Tri-City ValleyCats went live on Wednesday at The Joe, hosting WNYT's Capital Region Lifestyle and 4,226 mostly summer campers on July 22's Camp Day, even as the 'Cats ended up falling to Ottawa in both games.

Watch the full broadcast here (which included a foul ball going straight through the set!).

The ValleyCats put together a four-run rally in the bottom of the fifth inning of the opener, but Ottawa powerful at the plate, hitting four home runs in a 16-4 Titans win.

Taylor Wright had a pair of homers and five RBI for the Titans (33-27) in game one.

RJ Stinson and Dylan Broderick both had RBI for the ValleyCats (25-37) in game one.

Aaron Whitley had a sac fly in the bottom of the fifth, but grand slams by Jackie Urbaez and AJ Wright helped Ottawa to a 10-1 win in the afternoon game.
