Wappingers Falls, N.Y. (April 6, 2025) - Behind a five-run fifth inning, the Hudson Valley Renegades earned their first series win of the season, beating the Jersey Shore BlueClaws 6-2 on Sunday afternoon.

Bryce Cunningham was impressive in his professional debut, striking out seven across five innings while allowing two runs.

Hudson Valley took an early lead in the second. Jace Avina singled and Josh Moylan reached on an error. Jose Colmenares then doubled home Avina to make it 1-0.

In the third Raylin Heredia doubled, before a Carson DeMartini single tied it up at 1.

The BlueClaws took the lead in the top of the fifth. Jordan Viars notched a single and scored on another Heredia double, making it 2-1 Jersey Shore.

However, the Renegades responded with five runs in the bottom of the fifth. A Lombard Jr. walk, Omar Martinez broken-bat single, and an Avina single loaded the bases. Moylan hit a sacrifice fly to score Lombard, and Colmenares then notched an RBI single to score Martinez, his second RBI knock of the day.
