Staten Island (32-22) was able to jump out to an early lead that Batavia (27-28) could not answer, resulting in the Muckdogs ending their five game win streak in the 6-2 loss.
The Yankees scored one run in the 1st and 2nd innings and then two more in the 3rd and that was all they would need.
Batavia scored their first run in the 6th inning on a solo home run by Jon Edwards. They scored again in the 8th after bases were loaded on a Ryan Jackson single, Alan Ahmady walk and another single by Matthew Adams. Jon Edwards then grounded into a double play that allowed Jackson to come in to score.
Michael Blazek (3-8, 4.53) suffered the loss in the start. He went five innings with five runs on nine hits with two walks and five strikeouts. Kevin Siegrist followed him throwing three innings with one run, two hits and three strikeouts. Andres Rosales finished out the game in the 9th, striking out three while allowing one hit.
Edwards finished 2-for-4 with a homerun, RBI and run scored.
