Box Score

Tyler Correa hit a 2-run triple as the Mohawks went up 6-0 and looked to be cruising to victory on Wednesday night in Saugerties, but it was Correa’s at-bat in the eighth inning that put the Mohawks back in front as they defeated the Stallions 8-6 at Cantine Field.

Amsterdam took an early lead as Gabriel Rivera and Tyler Figueroa each hit RBI singles to give the Mohawk a 2-0 lead.

Taylor Belza doubled in the second inning which drove in James Haughton as the Mohawks took a 3-0 lead.

In the third, the Mohawks added another three runs as Robert Melo drove in Anthony DeCesare with a single and Tyler Correa hit a 2-run triple that scored Melo and Tyler Figueroa as the Mohawks went up 6-0.

The Stallions got on the board in the bottom of the third, after back-to-back walks by Mathis McKenna, the Stallions got their first hit of the game which yielded their first run of the game on an Aiden Schmidt RBI single. That was followed by a Cooper Schmidt sacrifice-fly and cut the Mohawks lead to 6-2.

In the sixth, Nick Croce hit an RBI double off Harrison Hicks which cut the Mohawks lead to 6-3. With 2 on and 2 out, the Mohawks turned to Derek Duval to try and end the inning. A walk to Mason Gazzaway loaded the bases and Jayden Hamilton delivered the big blow as he hit a bases clearing 3-run double to tie the game at 6. Duval was able to rebound and kept the go-ahead run stranded at third.

In the eighth, Tyler Correa gave the lead back to the Mohawks with his third RBI of the game as he drove in Aiden Dill with a single to give the Mohawks a 7-6 advantage.

In the ninth, Gabriel Rivera added an insurance run as he hit a double to left that scored Andrew Ezell to put Amsterdam up 8-6.

Derek Duval picked up the win after throwing a scoreless seventh inning and Tyler Kane earned the 6-out save by pitching a scoreless eighth and ninth innings.
