DiamondDawgs' Four-Run Eighth Sinks Dragons 6-3

Glens Falls carried a 2-1 lead into the eighth Tuesday at East Field before the Mohawk Valley DiamondDawgs pushed across four runs to flip it, handing the Dragons a 6-3 loss. Starter Colin Richardson had been brilliant, but a bullpen unraveling and three Dragons errors turned a taut pitchers' duel into a three-run defeat, dropping Glens Falls to 9-18.

The Dragons scratched out single runs in the fifth and sixth to lead 2-1, but the eighth belonged to the visitors. Colin Richter drove in two, Kyle Coleman and Brodie Freker each added an RBI, and Roberto Valdes Jr. reached three times and scored twice as Mohawk Valley tacked on again in the ninth. Glens Falls managed just six hits: Tyler McKillop went 1-for-3 with a run and an RBI, Tyler Worth and Taye Robinson each drove in a run, and Billy Barthel scored twice. Each side finished with six hits, but three Dragons errors — against Mohawk Valley's two — helped decide it.

Richardson was dominant across seven innings, scattering three hits and one run while striking out seven. Jay Creighton (L) surrendered the four-run eighth, retiring just one batter. Jack Donlin earned the win for Mohawk Valley with 4.1 hitless innings and six strikeouts. The Dragons hit the road Wednesday to face the Boonville Lumberjacks.
