Wappingers Falls, NY – The Hudson Valley Renegades walked off the Rome Emperors 3-2 on Tuesday Night at Heritage Financial Park for their second walk-off win in as many games.
Tuesday night marked the second time this season that the Renegades have had walk off wins in back-to-back games. The first occasion came on 4/21 and 4/22 against Brooklyn when Kaeden Kent and Kyle West hit a three-run homer and a solo homer, respectively.
With one out in the bottom of the 10th inning, Enmanuel Tejeda pulled a worm burner down the first base line that bounced off Rome first baseman Mason Guerra’s glove. Guerra had to track it down, giving Kyle West just enough time to round third and score.
The Renegades have won three games in a row, their longest streak since 5/8-10 at home against Winston-Salem.
Rome’s four hits came at the hands of two hitters (Tate Southisene and Colin Burgess). Rome did not get a hit after the fourth inning, and just two batters got on base after that point.
Despite just grabbing four hits, seven Renegades got one base. The Renegades walked eight times.
Hudson Valley struck out 15 times but also struck out 12 batters. Renegades pitching has struck out 38 batters across their last three games, and they lead the SAL in strikeouts with 840.
The Renegades had just one hit through six innings.
The Renegades improved to 4-2 this season against Rome and 19-23 at Heritage Financial Park this season.
Hudson Valley improved to 4-4 in extra-inning games this season and is now 11-13 in one run games. All three games during the team’s current winning streak have been one-run games.
