OFFICIAL FRONTIER LEAGUE BOX SCORE - GAME 2

POMONA, NY – The New York Boulders split the doubleheader with the Washington Wild Things on Wednesday. The first game featured a sudden-death showdown, resulting in a 10-9 walk-off victory for New York.  In the second game, the Boulders fell victim to a 13-2 blowout. The doubleheader consisted of two seven-inning games, making up for Tuesday’s rainout.

After falling into a six-run deficit, the Boulders rallied for a thrilling walk-off victory. Thomas Walraven, who hit a game-tying three-run home run in the seventh inning, came up clutch again in the ninth inning by driving in the winning run of Game 1 on a sacrifice fly.

Giovanni Garbella's RBI single and Patrick Kivlehan's two-run single helped spark a six-run seventh inning for New York. Washington scored two runs in the eighth inning, but Garbella erased the deficit with a two-run single to force extra innings.

Dawson Lane got the start for New York, throwing 1 2/3 innings and allowing four runs. Andy Hammond allowed two runs in 3 1/3 innings of relief. Aljo Sujak, in his first game back from the disabled list, let up one run in two innings of work. New York’s final pitcher of the night, Dylan Smith, earned the win thanks to a scoreless eighth inning.

The Boulders were not so fortunate in the late game of the twin bill. Washington bounced back in a strong way after letting the first game slip away.

Former St. Thomas Aquinas Spartan and Long Island Duck Chris Cepeda made his first start for the Boulders after being signed to the squad earlier in the day. Cepeda struggled, allowing 10 earned runs over three innings in his debut. Washington starter Justin Goossen-Brown threw four scoreless innings in the contest.

Gabriel Garcia and Chris Kwitzer each had an RBI in the game for New York. Wild Things designated hitter Tristan Peterson paced Washington in the win, going 3 for 4 with a home run, three runs, and four RBI. Peterson drove in three runs in the Game 1 loss.

New York (22-17) will look to win the series against Washington (17-24) on Thursday night at Clover Stadium at 7:00 p.m. For information on Boulders tickets, value packs and more, visit the Boulders’ official website at www.nyboulders.com.
