UNDATED – Manager TJ Stanton collected his 450th career regular season win as the
Boulders rolled over the Tri-City ValleyCats 19-8 Sunday night at Joseph L. Bruno
Stadium in Troy, NY.
New York (17-15) stopped a three-game skid overall and a seven-game slide at “The
Joe” on a night every Boulders starting batter was able to reach base at least twice
and score at least once.
DH Kyle Hess (2-4, 3 walks, 3 runs), SS Fritz Genther (3-6, walk, 3 RBI, 3 runs), and 2B
Santino Rosso (3-4, HR, 4 RBI, 3 runs) all got on 5 times, with Hess finding his way
aboard for the 15th straight game he’s appeared in since returning from injury.
C Jason Agresti (2-5, 2 walks, 2 runs) continued his scorching stretch with a 6th
consecutive multi-hit game, extending his hitting streak to 7 straight contests with a
2nd inning double. He’s now 23-for-53 (.434) during the month of June.
RHP Jalon Long (W, 1-0 / 1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 BB, 1 K) picked up his first win as a Boulder,
deemed the most effective of New York’s six relievers after LHP Wesley Culley (ND / 3
IP, 3 R (1 ER), 3 H, 4 BB, 2 K) made his 3rd career start.
Long worked a 1-2-3 eighth inning against his former team, getting two lineouts and a
strikeout.
The visitors grabbed a 3-0 first inning lead, then went ahead for good with four in the
second, extending to a 9-3 advantage in the top of the fourth, then 12-5 in the sixth, and
capping their 20-hit outburst with a seven-run eighth to go up 19-6.
After an off day tomorrow (Monday), the Boulders return to Clover Stadium for a
seven-game home stand starting Tuesday night at 7:00pm EDT vs. the Down East Bird
Dawgs.
Also of note:
- LF John Schroeder (1-for-4, walk, sac fly, 3 RBI, run) extended his hitting streak to
seven games (9-for-27) with a two-run single in the top of the eighth inning
