Batavia’s (36-35) offense couldn’t match State College’s (35-36) pitching as the Muckdogs only had four hits on the night and were retired in order in seven out of nine innings. They also struggled on defense, coming up with three errors that resulted in three unearned runs.
Joseph Kelly (2-3, 5.27) started the game, going four innings with four runs (two earned), four hits, two walks and four strikeouts. Deryk Hooker also went four innings with three runs (two earned) on two hits, two walks and six strikeouts. Jonny Bravo pitched the 9th with one hit while striking out one.
Devin Goodwin, Matthew Adams, Jon Edwards and Niko Vasquez were the only Muckdogs to pick up a hit. Goodwin’s double was the only one for extra bases.
