Glens Falls, NY- The Glens Falls Dragons and the Amsterdam Mohawks squared off for the second time in as many nights. After a 9-2 loss Glens Falls returned to the friendly confines of East Field looking to even the season series with the Mohawks. Three Mohawk hitters combined to hold Glens Falls hitless for seven innings, but the Dragons broke a 1-1 tie with a single run in the bottom of the eighth to pull out a 2-1 win.

Amsterdam jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second. Richie Barrella (Manhattan) led off the inning with a single off of Glens Falls starter Julien Arcos (LIU-Post). Ben Rhodes then legged out an infield hit, as did Jackson Wenstrom (HVCC).

Amsterdam starter Teddy Sabato (Manhattan) went three innings for the Mohawks without yielding a hit or an earned run.

Brendan Coffey came in for Amsterdam in the bottom of the fourth and with two outs walked a pair of Dragons and hit a batter as  still hitless Glens Falls had their best scoring opportunity of the night. Coffey however induced a fly ball out to end the threat.
