HUDSON VALLEY RENEGADES GAME REPORT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Hudson Valley 5 Brooklyn 1 WAPPINGERS FALLS, NY (April 21, 2022) — Behind another stellar pitching performance, the Hudson Valley Renegades defeated the Brooklyn Cyclones 5-1 on Thursday night at Dutchess Stadium. The Renegades took the lead in the bottom of the first with a two-out rally against Junior Santos. Carlos Narvaez reached on an infield single and advanced to second on a passed ball, then scored on a Tyler Hardman single. Brooklyn broke even in the third on an RBI single from Jose Mena. That was the only blemish against Renegades starter Will Warren, who allowed just one run on two hits in 5.0 innings. He walked two and struck out a career-high nine. Warren (1-1) got the win, becoming the first Renegades starting pitcher to pick up a victory in 2022. His nine strikeouts tied Beck Way for most strikeouts by a Hudson Valley pitcher in a single game this season. In the bottom of the fourth Eduardo Torrealba lined a two-run triple into the right field corner, regaining the lead for Hudson Valley. Later in the frame, he dashed home on a wild pitch to extend the lead to 4-1. Narvaez tacked on an insurance run in the fifth with a line drive double to center, chasing home T.J. Rumfield to grow the gap to 5-1. The Renegades catcher finished 2-for-4 with a run scored, a double and an RBI. That was more than enough as Alex Mauricio and Michael Giacone each threw 2.0 scoreless, hitless innings of relief in back of Warren to secure the victory. They retired 10 of the final 11 Cyclones batters in the game. Hudson Valley continues its series with Brooklyn on Friday night at Dutchess Stadium.
