Wilmington, Del. (July 24, 2026) – The Hudson Valley Renegades fell to the Wilmington Blue Rocks 9-1 on Friday night at Frawley Stadium.

The Blue Rocks held the Renegades without a hit in the game until the top of the eighth inning when Camden Troyer led off with a single. It was the longest the Renegades had been held without a hit this season.

The Renegades fell to 6-10 on the season against the Blue Rocks and 2-2 at Frawley Stadium. Hudson Valley is 5-5 against Wilmington in the second half of the season.

Two hits by the Renegades are tied for the fewest in a game by the team this season. They have been held to two hits on three other occasions, most recently 7/17 at Brooklyn.

Both hits by Hudson Valley were singles and Wilmington has held the Renegades without an extra-base hit in two of the last three games in the series, both Blue Rocks wins.

Renegades pitchers walked nine batters, the eighth time this season that they have walked nine-or-more batters in a game this year. Three of those games have come against the Blue Rocks.

RHP Bryce Cunningham (3.2 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 3 BB, 2 K) allowed a season-high seven hits across 3.2 innings and got the loss.

This was the first time since 6/2 that Cunningham has allowed more than 2 ER in a start, a run of six straight starts.

Cunningham threw 86 pitches in the game, but only 48 (55.8%) for strikes. It was the fifth straight start that Cunningham eclipsed the 80-pitch mark after having not done so in his first seven appearances.

Cunningham has allowed 13 hits across 9.1 innings in his last two starts along with five walks and six strikeouts.

3B Roderick Arias (1-for-3, RBI, BB) drove in the lone run of the game for the Renegades with a single in the top of the eighth.

Arias has reached base in 37 of his last 38 games played, including a 14-game on-base streak.

Since 6/5, Arias is batting .364/.440/.650 with 32 R, 11 2B, 1 3B, 9 HR, 38 RBI, 20 BB, 39 K with a 12.0 BB%.

C Eric Genther (0-for-4) put the ball in play all four times, but saw his 21-game on-base streak come to an end.

During the streak he hit .358/.465/.582 with a 1.047 OPS, 13 R, 3 2B, 4 HR, 19 RBI, 10 BB, 13 K during the streak.

CF Camden Troyer (1-for-2, BB) broke up the Blue Rocks no-hit bid with a single to right in the top of the eighth inning.

Troyer has hits in all three games played in this series, and is 4-for-8 with three walks this week.
