Billy Nowlin hit his team-leading fifth home run of the season, but the Oneonta Tigers dropped their fourth straight New York-Penn League game, 7-5, to the Hudson Valley Renegades in front of a season-high 3,726 fans at Damaschke Field on Saturday night.
Hudson Valley swept the three-game series.
The Tigers trailed, 6-1, before Nowlin hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning to make it 6-3.
Oneonta got outhit, 14-11, and stranded 10 runners. The Renegades left six on base.
The Tigers opened a 1-0 lead in the first. Mike Gosse hit a two-out single to left and Carlos Ramirez followed with a single to right to put runners on first and second. Keith Stein then singled in Gosse for the early lead.
The Renegades rallied in the second. Jeff Carroll walked with two out against David Stokes (3-6) and Kyeong Kang tripled to right to tie it at 1. Mark Thomas then tripled to right, scoring Kang, and Michael Ross followed with an RBI single for a 3-1 lead.
The Renegades made it 4-1 in the fourth on a sacrifice fly from Ross. Hudson Valley scored twice in the fifth, on an RBI triple from Jason Tweedy and a run-scoring single from Jacob Jefferies, to make it 6-1.
Ramirez led off the bottom of the eighth with a walk against reliever Jamie Bagley, then moved to second when Luis Arlet grounded out to third. Nowlin then hit a towering shot over the left-field wall to make it 6-3.
Robi Estrada tripled off Steve Gilman to open the ninth and later scored on a one-out sacrifice fly to center by Tweedy for a 7-3 advantage.
Brent Wyatt and Ben Guez opened the bottom of the ninth with singles to put runners on first and second. Bagley then threw a wild pitch, putting both runners into scoring position. Gosse followed with a two-run single to center for the final margin.
Gosse advanced to second on a wild pitch, but Bagley got Ramirez to ground out to first, pinch-hitter Brandon Douglas to pop out to short and Nowlin to ground out to short to end the game.
Wyatt, Guez, Gosse, Ramirez and Nowlin had two hits apiece to lead Oneonta.
Stokes gave up six runs (five earned) on 10 hits over five innings. He struck out none and walked two. Daniel DeLucia followed with three innings of one-hit ball, striking out three. Gilman pitched the ninth, allowing one run on one hit.
