Wappingers Falls, N.Y. (April 16, 2024) — In front of an energetic crowd for the Hudson Valley Renegades home opener at Heritage Financial Park, the Renegades and Aberdeen IronBirds played a very competitive pitcher’s duel. The game found its dramatic conclusion with a walk-off free pass to Omar Martinez, as the Renegades scored two runs in the ninth to beat the IronBirds 3-2 on Tuesday night.

The teams received excellent outings from their respective starting pitchers Baron Stuart and Zach Fruit. In his first appearance since pitching in the Arizona Fall League, Stuart was outstanding for Hudson Valley, going 5.1 innings, allowing just two hits, and one earned run with three punchouts.

On the other side, Fruit matched nearly every punch from Stuart, pitching four innings and allowing just one earned run while striking out four.

In the fourth inning, Hudson Valley broke a scoreless tie. A two-out walk from Josh Moylan brought Garrett Martin to the plate, who hit an RBI triple into the left-center gap to put the Renegades in front.

Aberdeen responded in the sixth after Enrique Bradfield doubled on a soft line drive down the left field line. Tavian Josenberger eventually knocked in Bradfield with a sacrifice fly to tie the game and forced Stuart out of the game.

In the seventh, Aberdeen took its first lead, when Creed Willems hit a towering solo home run to lead off the frame against Ben Shields.

It looked as if this would be enough to earn the visitors a victory, but in the bottom of the ninth, the Renegades built a rally. IronBirds reliever Luis Sanchez had trouble commanding the zone, hitting two batters before walking Roc Riggio to load up the bases. Jared Serna tied the game with a second consecutive walk, and after some great takes at plate, Martinez won the game with another base on balls.

The Renegades and IronBirds will continue their six-game series Wedenesday night at Heritage Financial Park. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. with coverage beginning on the Renegades Baseball Network at 6:15 with the Heritage Financial Credit Union Pregame Show.
