The Hudson Valley Community College baseball team completed the weekend with a 4-0 record after they defeated Columbia-Greene Community College 4-3 and 12-2 in the respective games today at Joe Bruno Stadium on the campus of Hudson Valley Community College.
GAME ONE: Hudson Valley 4, Columbia-Greene 3
In the opening game, the Vikings kicked the first inning off with three doubles by Jaden Ross, Mike Talavera and Josh Foglia to put the Vikings up 2-0 early on the Twins. Foglia later connected for another RBI double in the third inning, scoring Ross, who reached base with a leadoff single in the inning.
In the fourth inning, Noah Fasso earned an RBI on a single to leftfield, scoring Jacob Hall in the process and the Vikings extended their lead to 4-0.
In the fifth inning, the Twins made a run, scoring all three of their runs in the inning and pulled within one run, but the Vikings pitching and defense held on to secure the win.
GAME TWO: Hudson Valley 12, Columbia-Greene 2 (5 innings)
In the final game of the day, the Vikings jumped out to an early lead on the Twins as they scored twice in the opening inning as a result of three walks and a couple of errors by Columbia-Greene and the Vikings never looked back as they continued to put more runs on the board in the second inning, which they batted around in, which was highlighted by a bases-clearing triple by Paul Fernandez.
The Vikings rolled to their fourth straight win and will look to continue the streak this week and make a push into the Region 3 playoffs.
