Renegades fall just short to Cyclones in heartbreaker 5-4

Brooklyn, N.Y. (August 30, 2025) — The Hudson Valley Renegades came excruciatingly close to a late comeback win, but the Brooklyn Cyclones closed out a 5-4 victory on Saturday night at Maimonides Park.

Hudson Valley opened the scoring to take a 1-0 lead in the second. Camden Troyer walked with one out and scored on an RBI double by Connor McGinnis.

Brooklyn responded to tie the game in the bottom of the inning. Colin Houck drew a walk and later scored on a sacrifice fly by Corey Collins.

In the third, Diego Mosquera led off with a double and came home on an RBI single by Marco Vargas to make it 2-1 Cyclones.

The Cyclones added two more runs in the fifth to extend their lead to 4-1. Mosquera singled and Vargas followed with an RBI triple. The next batter, Yohairo Cuevas, doubled in Vargas.

Hudson Valley fought hard in the late innings, bringing in two to cut the deficit to 4-3. Josh Moylan reached second on an error by left fielder Nick Roselli. Camden Troyer then drew a walk, and runners reached second and third on a balk. A wild pitch allowed Moylan to score, before an RBI single by Robbie Burnett drove in Troyer.

Brooklyn added an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth. Yonathan Henriquez led off with a triple, and a Nick Roselli RBI groundout brought him home.

In the ninth, the Renegades pulled within one run, but could not complete the comeback. Dillon Lewis led off with a majestic solo home run, his 13th High-A home run and 22nd overall in the Yankees organization this season. Josh Moylan reached on a two-out single as the tying run, but Brett Banks struck out Camden Troyer to end the game 5-4.
