WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (June 26, 2022) – The Hudson Valley Renegades fell to the Winston-Salem Dash 4-1 on Sunday afternoon at Truist Stadium. The Renegades finish their season-long 12-game road trip with a 6-6 record.

T.J. Sikkema allowed a run in the bottom of the first inning on an RBI single by Oscar Colas to give Winston-Salem a 1-0 lead. That was the only run allowed by the left-hander on the day in a career-high 3.2 innings.

The Renegades tied the score in the top of the third when Everson Pereira blasted a solo home run to center off Andrew Dalquist. The round tripper was Pereira’s seventh of the season and 21st in a Renegades uniform – one shy of Dan Grummitt’s career franchise record of 22.

Leif Strom backed up Sikkema with 2.1 scoreless innings out of the bullpen, but in the bottom of the seventh, the Dash took the lead against Nelvin Correa (0-2). Ben Norman singled and advanced to second on a wild pitch before scoring on a Duke Ellis single.

In the bottom of the eighth, Winston-Salem tacked on two insurance runs off Nelson Alvarez to expand its lead to 4-1. Vince Vannelle set the Gades down 1-2-3 in the ninth to earn his fourth save of the year.

Aaron Palensky finished 2-for-3 with a double, and had five hits in the last two games of the series with the Dash. On the road trip, Palensky hit .370 (10-for-27) with three home runs and five RBIs.

Hudson Valley has an off day on Monday before returning home on Tuesday to face the Brooklyn Cyclones to begin a six-game series. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. at Dutchess Stadium. For tickets and more information, visit www.hvrenegades.com.
