Winston-Salem answered with four runs in the bottom of the first against Carlos Lagrange, highlighted by an RBI single from Alec Makarewicz and a three-run double by Luis Pineda to take a 4-2 lead. Lagrange finished 3.2 innings, his shortest start since April 8, and allowed six runs on five hits with four walks and six strikeouts.
Hudson Valley tied the game in the top of the third on a Morales groundout and Jose Colmenares RBI single, and took the lead in the fourth on a Riggio RBI triple. Two batters later, Morales drove him in with a single to extend the lead to 6-4. Morales finished 2-for-5 with three RBIs.
The Dash responded with two runs in the fourth against Lagrange, but Riggio put the Renegades back in front with a mammoth two-run homer to right in the top of the sixth.
