POMONA, NY - The Tri-City ValleyCats traveled to Pomona, New York to take on the division rival New York Boulders for the first time this season following their homestand-ending win against the New Jersey Jackals on Thursday night.

The 'Cats sent RHP Olbis Parra to the mound as they looked to stay hot. Parra would allow 12 hits and 10 earned runs in six innings of work. A bright spot for the ValleyCats pitching staff would be RHP Eric Ezersky, who worked a scoreless seventh inning, tallying 3 strikeouts.

The 'Cats got on the board in the top of the fourth inning courtesy of a Juan Santana solo home run, but the Boulders would tally 10 unanswered runs. The 'Cats would cross the plate once in the ninth, but the damage had been done, and the Boulders would secure their third win in a row.

The 'Cats look to bounce back in Pomona, NY tomorrow night in the second game of a three-game Father's Day weekend series before returning home for a six-game homestand starting on Tuesday. Get your tickets tickets by calling (518) 629-2287, going online, or stopping by the box office.
