Batavia, NY - Eric Woodley tossed eight innings, allowing one run as the Muckdogs beat the Tarp Skunks 4-1, clinching first place in the PGCBL West Division.

Right-hander Dawson Thomas came on in relief of Barnett in the sixth. After keeping Batavia off the board in the sixth and seventh, the Muckdogs added insurance in the eighth on a two-run double from extra hitter Cooper Fesh. 

Up 4-0 into the ninth inning, Woodley went for a complete game shutout, but was pulled after back-to-back walks opened the inning. Luc Rising came on in relief. The Tarp Skunks loaded the bases with nobody out, but managed just one run as the Muckdogs won 4-1.
