Return Home Off 4-2 Road Trip

Trois-Rivières, QC, CAN — The Boulders wound up with a doubleheader split Sunday at Stade Quillorama, winning the first game, 6-3, before Les Aigles (17-28) took the nightcap, 6-1.

New York (21-22) was powered in the opener by SS Austin Dennis, who paced a 12-hit attack with an RBI single in the second inning and tie-breaking two-run homer in the top of the fourth. Dennis grabbed the team RBI lead with his 32nd, 33rd, and 34th of the season.

RHP Garrett Cooper (W {4-0} / 6 IP, 3 R, 6 H, 0 BB, 5 K) gave up three runs in the first two frames, then retired 14 of the final 15 batters he faced. RHP Tyler Vail worked a perfect bottom of the seventh for his sixth save of the year.

In the nightcap, LHP Cobe Reeves (L {0-1} / 2 IP, 4 ER, 5 H, 4 BB, 1 K) made his first professional start, getting tagged for five runs a first inning capped by 2B Luis Curbelo’s grand slam.

Curbelo added a solo shot in the third off RHP Joe Miceli, while the Boulders finally got on the board in the top of the fourth, with DH Alfredo Marte’s RBI single scoring RF Ryan McCoy, who’d led off with a double.
