July 28, 2026

BATAVIA, NY- Flashback to 2025, this exact game happened, and the Muckdogs won. Fast

forward to today, exact same matchup, one year later. The scoring started off in the 2nd inning

off of a throwing error by Paul Dulanto, allowing Jackson Inman to score, 1-0 ‘Dogs. Jamestown

answered right back in the next half inning on a 2 RBI single from Nolan Smith, 2-1 ‘Skunks.

Batavia would clap right back in the same inning, as Glenn Brooks would bat in Jalen David to

tie it, then Braedon Reina would come home on a wild pitch driving the Muckdogs ahead 3-2.

Jamestown would tie it back up at 3 a piece on an Anthony Trommer RBI double. This had

fought game would continue to be on its game of the year caliber status throughout the next few

innings of baseball, until the Muckdogs would break the streak of zeroes on an insanely clutch 2

RBI single off Joey Socorro’s bat when his name got called. Cooper Russell would score on a

wild pitch after that, making the score 6-3. Jamestown would answer with a sac-fly in the 9th,

however in would not be enough to come back, as Batavia beats Jamestown for the second
