Glens Falls, N.Y- The last time the Glens Falls Dragons met the Amsterdam Mohawks just a couple, of days ago, Glens Falls came away with a win at Shuttleworth Park. The Mohawks entered East Field Friday night looking to avenge that loss. Amsterdam did just that, fighting off a late Dragon's rally for a 5-4 win.

In the fifth Richie Nizza (Florida Atlantic) led off with a double against Glens Falls starter Julien Arcos (LIU-Post). Two batters later Cole Barr (Indiana) singled and Nizza scored on a Michael Ludowig (Wake Forest) ground out to make it 3-0.

The Dragons pulled within 3-2 in the bottom of the sixth. Phoenix Hernandez (Southern New Hampshire) led off with a single and scored on an RBI single by Zach Fritz (LIU-Post). An RBI single by Nate Cobb (Malone) scored Matt Hamel (Siena) to cut the lead to 3-2.

Amsterdam scored a single run each in the seventh and ninth to extend the lead back to 5-2, and it turned out the runs were much needed.
