The Hudson Valley Community College baseball team snapped its four-game losing streak as they completed the home series sweep of Mohawk Valley on Saturday afternoon at Joe Bruno Stadium on the campus of Hudson Valley Community College. 

GAME ONE: Hudson Valley 3, Mohawk Valley 2

In the opening game, the Vikings had to overcome a 2-0 deficit in order to earn the tough walk-off win over the Hawks. Josh Foglia fought off a tough pitch and sent it opposite field, just out of the reach of the Hakws leftfielder to allow the winning run to score. 

Luis Misla earned the complete game and improved to 5-0 on the season. He allowed two runs on five hits and struck out nine batters. 

GAME TWO: Hudson Valley15, Mohawk Valley 0

In the final game of the day, Hudson Valley came out ready to play as they posted a 10-run inning in the home half of the first. The Vikings slowly extended their lead and eventually closed out the five-inning game with a 15-0 lead. 

Mike Talavera and Josh Foglia each had a multi-hit game and combined to score two runs and drove in five of the Vikings 15 runs. Branden Shader also had a nice day at the plate, scoring three runs and tallied four RBIs on the day. 

Jacob Lapham earned the complete game, shutout victory for the Vikings as he tossed five innings, allowed two hits, two walks and struck out eight batters.
