Game 2

The Tigers win by the same score as the opener, 2-1.

Miguel Mejia (3-1) went five innings, allowing one run on six hits. Tyler White closed out the final two innings for his third save.

Connecticut had two hits but was helped by four Hudson Valley errors.

These were important victories for Connecticut, which is second in the Stedler Division and tied for third in the New York-Penn League wild card standings.

The Renegades entered the doubleheader tied with the Tigers in the race for the final playoff spot. Connecticut is now a half game behind Vermont in the division and three behind Williamsport for the wild card.

“We needed that,” Bushong said. “We need them all right now. We needed that against those guys. We need to put together some games. We’re capable of doing it and hopefully we’ll just keep going.”
