Brooklyn, N.Y. (Aug. 19, 2023) — The Hudson Valley Renegades fell 8-7 in a back-and-forth contest with the Brooklyn Cyclones on Saturday night at Maimonides Park.

Hudson Valley jumped ahead 3-0 early with a two-run home run from Christopher Familia in the second inning, and an RBI double from Jared Serna in the third.

After Hudson Valley starter Zach Messinger retired the first nine batters in a row to start the game, the first three batters reached safely in the fourth. A bases loaded walk to Jacob Reimer brought home the first run before back-to-back two-RBI doubles from William Lugo and D’Andre Smith pushed Brooklyn ahead 5-3.

Anthony Hall clubbed his first home run with the Renegades in the fifth, an opposite field solo blast to left field off the scoreboard to inch the ‘Gades closer at 5-4.

Brooklyn responded with a Jett Williams solo home run in the fifth to pad the Cyclones lead to 6-4. After the Williams home run, Messinger walked Ramirez to bring an end to his outing. Anderson Munoz made his 2023 Renegades debut and tossed two scoreless frames out of the bullpen.

The Renegades tied the game at six on a Rafael Flores two-run home run to left field in the sixth. After the home run, Benito Garcia entered out of the bullpen and finished off the inning.

After Serna was hit by a pitch from Garcia (1-1) to begin the seventh and the Renegades infielder stole second base to place the go-ahead run in scoring position. Ben Cowles laced a go-ahead RBI single to score Serna and hand the Renegades an 8-7 lead. Cowles finished the night 1-for-3 with an RBI, walk, and a run to extend his on-base streak to 32 games.

Harrison Cohen entered out of the bullpen in the seventh and recorded the first two outs before Stanley Consuegra singled and Reimer worked a walk. Lugo then scorched a two-RBI triple into the gap in right-center field to push Brooklyn back ahead 8-7.

Garica retired the Renegades in order in the ninth, and allowed just one run in the final 3.1 innings to hand the Renegades their second-straight loss.

Hudson Valley and Brooklyn wrap up their six-game series on Sunday afternoon at Maimonides Park. First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m., with pregame coverage beginning at 1:45 on the Renegades Baseball Network. RHP Brendan Beck (0-1, 1.71) gets the starting nod for the Renegades, while the Cyclones have yet to name a starter.
