The Batavia Muckdogs (46-28) clinched a first place finish in the Pinckney Division of the New York-Penn League and ended their regular season last night as they took down State College (18-56) 4-1.
Miguel Tapia started on the mound and Scott Gorgen (5-2) got the win in his five innings of great pitching. Gorgen let up only three hits and one walk while striking out five. Adam Reifer (22) got the save in the 9th with no hits, runs or walks and one strikeout. Gabriel Alvarado (0-1) finished his season suffering the loss, throwing one and one third innings with three hits, two runs, one walk and one strikeout.
The Muckdogs put two on the board in the 2nd, starting the inning with a single by Xavier Scruggs. Jose Garcia then reached on a throwing error, putting two on for Edwin Gomez to drive home on a double. The Spikes answered with one of their own in the bottom of the inning when Adenson Chourio and Ciro Rosero both singled. Chourio moved to third on a force out before coming home on a wild pitch.
But that would be all the State College offense of the night, while Batavia scored one more run in each the 4th and the 8th. In the 4th, Garcia singled, stole a base and came home on a wild pitch. And in the 8th, the bottom of the inning started off with a Christian Rosa singled and Jermaine Curtis walked. On a pickoff attempt, the Spikes had a throwing error that allowed Rosa to come around to score.
Rosa and Scruggs had the only multi-hit nights for the Muckdogs. Rosa went 2-for-3 with a run scored and Scruggs went 2-for-4 with a double and run scored.
