Bowling Green, KY - For the third straight night and the fifth time in their last seven games, the Hudson Valley Renegades suffered a walk-off loss on Thursday night at Bowling Green Ballpark, falling 6-5 in 11 innings to the Bowling Green Hot Rods.

All five games lost by Hudson Valley on the current two-week road trip have been walk-off losses. Thursday was the sixth time overall this season that the Renegades have lost in walk-off fashion. Hudson Valley has led in the eighth inning or later in four of the five walk-offs during this stretch.

The Renegades trailed 2-0 into the eighth inning before rallying to tie the game in the ninth. They held leads in the 10th and 11th innings before ultimately falling.

The Renegades have lost three straight games on walk-offs for the first time as a Yankees affiliate.

With the loss, the Renegades fall to 8-13 in 2026 in one-run games. They have played seven straight one-run games since last Wednesday at Rome and are 2-5.

The Renegades are now 3-4 in extra-inning games this season. They have played back-to-back extra-inning contests for the first time this year. They have played three 11-inning contests among their seven extra-inning games.

Hudson Valley pounded out 14 hits on Thursday and have 36 hits in the first three games of the series with Bowling Green.
