The 10-run rule became implemented in the PGCBL in 2021. When leading by ten runs after seven innings, or 12 runs after five in a doubleheader, the game comes to an end. This rule has put an early end to Mohawks games 34 times; each one in the Mohawks’ favor. That streak came to an end tonight as the Boonville Lumberjacks flipped the script for the first time and handed the Mohawks their first mercy-rule loss by a score of 13-3 Friday night in Amsterdam.
Boonville set the tone early. Andy Perez, the game’s first batter reached on the first of 4 Mohawks errors on the night. Tristan Hunter would record the next 2 outs, meaning he should’ve had a 1-2-3 inning. Instead, he walked the next 2 batters and gave up a 3-run double to Chase Triplett. That was followed Elijah Hurt reaching on an error, which allowed Triplett to score and staking the Lumberjacks to a 4-run lead before the Mohawks ever came to bat.
The Mohawks began to chip away. In the bottom of the first as Jayden Harriel drove in Jake Long with a single to cut the lead to 4-1. Then in the third, Alex Junghans tried to hit an inside the park home run but was thrown out at the plate. However, Jon Young, Jr. was on base, so it turned into an RBI triple for Junghans to make the score 4-2.
Parker Aikens came out of the pen for the Mohawks and threw 4 scoreless innings to keep the Mohawks in the game. Matthew Irwin was locked in for the Lumberjacks as he held the Mohawks to 3 runs over 6 innings.
In the sixth, the wheels came off for the Mohawks. Nick Semon walked 4 of the 5 batters he would face. Cai Cheng En took over and walked in another run before Miguel Gonzalez drove in a run with the only hit of the inning. Mason Resmondo grounded into a fielder’s choice allowing Elijah Hurt to score and Chase Tepatti stole home on a first and third play to cap off a 5-run inning, giving the Lumberjacks a 9-2 lead.
In the bottom of the sixth, the Mohawks ran their own first and third play and got a run back as Jake Long scored on the steal of home. That would be the end of the Mohawks offense as they made it 9-3.
Another Mohawks error prolonged the seventh inning, and once again the Lumberjacks made the pay as Jeremiah McLemore hit a 2-run home run to make it 11-3.
The Lumberjacks scored another pair of runs in the eighth for the final nail in the coffin as Miguel Gonzalez hit an RBI single and Alex Rodriguez hit a sac-fly to make it 13-3.
Anthony Schatz and Riley Hasenstab each threw a scoreless inning to put the Mohawks to bed and seal the 13-3 victory.
Boonville improved to 7-4 with the win as Matthew Irwin improved to 1-0. Amsterdam fell to 12-5 as Tristan Hunter, despite not allowing an earned run, fell to 0-1.
The Mohawks will look to bounce back tomorrow night as they will face the Outlaws in Oneonta tomorrow at 7:00.
