The bats finally sprung to life on the road. Following just a run in an 11 inning home defeat, the Staten Island Yankees got a measure of revenge exploding for nine runs to a post a 9-1 win at Hudson Valley Saturday night.

They used a four-run first to take the lead for good on a night which saw the ballclub bat around twice. Veteran backstop Brian Baisley, who arrived from Charleston drove home a pair finishing 2-for-3 with a run and walk. He replaced Jeff Nutt, who was moved up to play with the Riverdogs of the South Atlantic League.

Second-year Bomber Matt Morris got his first start of the season in center hitting leadoff. The outfielder had a couple of hits including an RBI double and run scored. Staten Island second baseman David Adams also broke out by going two-for-four with three runs knocked in. That included a big two out two-run base hit to center in the first plating teammates Taylor Grote and Mike Lyon.

A couple of frames later, Adams drove in his third of the night with another two out line drive hit to center scoring Baisley, who began the third with a single. That was plenty of support for starter Cory Arbiso, who worked the first three scoreless allowing two hits while fanning a pair.

Trailing by five, the Renegades got on the board in the home fourth off Staten Island reliever Jacinto Gonell when Michael Sheridan ledoff with a double and two batters later came around to score on Friday’s pinch hit hero Kyeong Kang’s sac fly. But following a walk. Gonell escaped further damage by getting Anthony Scelfo swinging.

In two and a third, the second-year Bomber allowed one earned on four hits with a walk and four K’s which was good enough for his first victory of the summer.

The Baby Bombers put the game out of reach with another four-run inning this time in the sixth highlighted by right fielder Melky Mesa’s first home run. A Morris runscoring double also produced a run plating shortstop Brian Chavez, who had three hits in four at bats.

Tim Dennehy, Andy Shive and two-armed man Pat Venditte shutdown the Renegades the rest of the way allowing just one hit in the final three and two thirds with a strikeout.
