ValleyCats Fall in Series Finale at Trois-Rivières
The Tri-City ValleyCats lost in the final game of a three-game set at Trois-Rivieres, 11-10, on Thursday, June 11.
The Aigles scored twice in the bottom of the eighth and twice again in the bottom of the ninth for the come-from-behind win.
Dylan Broderick lost his hit streak at 16 and on-base streak at 22 after a pinch-hit pop out in the top of the ninth.
The 'Cats (10-18) were powered by a six-run rally in the top of the third that featured a Ranko Stevanovic RBI single, a Kai Moody two-run double, and culminated with a three-run Amani Larry homer.
Kai Moody was 2-for-5 with a pair of runs and RBI for the ValleyCats. Aaron Whitley scored twice and reached base four times with a pair of singles, a walk, and being hit by a pitch. Jake Reinisch finished 2-for-3 with a double, a homer, 3 runs, and 2 RBI.
