Box Score
After a week of highlight reel come-from-behind wins, the Mohawks were given a taste of their own medicine on Saturday night at Murnane Field in Utica as the Blue Sox won 7-6 on a 2-run walk-off home run.
The Mohawks would stake themselves to a 2-0 lead in the first as Jake Long hit an RBI single and Jayden Harriel hit an RBI double.
Utica got on the board in the bottom of the second as Brian Guzman reached on an error and scored on a RJ Thomae single to make it 2-1.
The Blue Sox took the lead in the third as Sean Sousa hit a 2-run double giving Utica a 3-2 lead.
Amsterdam responded in the following inning as Alex Junghans grounded out with the bases loaded allowing Jayden Harriel to score and tie the game up at 3.
The Mohawks regained the lead in the fifth as Jayden Harriel drove in Brandon McCraine with a single giving the Mohawks a 4-3 edge.
Utica answered right back in the bottom of the inning as Xavier Smith hit a 2-run double giving the Blue Sox a 5-4 lead.
The lead switched hands again in the eighth. With the bases loaded, Jon Young, Jr. scored on a passed ball to tie the game at 5 and then Bray Touchstone drove in Danny Perez with a single that put the Mohawks up 6-5.
Manny Santos looked to close the game out in the ninth, however he walked the leadoff batter to put the tying run on base. Following a strikeout, RJ Thomae stepped in and belted the walk-off home run as the Blue Sox came away from the back-and-forth game with a 7-6 win.
Amsterdam fell to 10-2 as Manny Santos (0-1) was hit with the loss. Charlie Bushley (2-0) got the win as the Blue Sox moved to 3-5 on the season.
The Mohawks will be off on Sunday and return home on Monday to host the Saugerties Stallions at 6:35 PM.
