TROY, NY - In a game with playoff implications, the visiting Sussex County Miners shutout the Tri-City ValleyCats 1-0 on Thursday night at Joseph L. Bruno Stadium.

The teams combined for only 13 hits, while pitchers totaled 22 strikeouts, 11 apiece.

Tri-City continues its six-game homestand on Friday, hosting the Empire State Greys at 7:00 pm.
