MUCKDOGS DOMINATE THE PIPELINE IN 9-1 VICTORY

July 2, 2026

BATAVIA, NY- In a last-minute change, Power City became the East Coast Pipeline, a 17u team

from Buffalo, NY, filled with high school baseball players that have scholarship opportunities

from colleges and universities. The Pipeline would start off this game with an RBI single off the

bat of Brandon Leto, 1-0 East Coast. However, that is the only lead they would have. Joey

Socorro hit an RBI single, Kyle Vaughn hit a 2 RBI single, Jalen Roque hit a 2 RBI single, and

Brayden Redmond reached on an error scoring Jalen Roque, making the score 6-1 Muckdogs.

The dogpile would continue in the 2nd, as Myles Monell would hit a sac-fly, then Kyle Vaughn

would hit another RBI single, bringing the score to 8-1. It would take until the 6th inning for

another score, as Braden Eye would ground out to 2B, scoring Jalen David, making the score 9-1

Batavia, in which it would stay that way until the end.

Offensively for the Pipeline, Wilson Genareo (2 for 3, run) and Brandon Leto (2 for 3, RBI)

stood out. For the Muckdogs, Cooper Russell went 1 for 2 with 3 runs, 2 walks, and a stolen bag,

Braden Eye went 1 for 3 with 2 runs, a walk, and a stolen bag, Kyle Vaughn went 3 for 3 with 3

RBIs, a stolen bag, and a run, and Jalen Roque went 1 for 2 with a double, 2 RBIs, a stolen bag,

and a HBP.

Jackson Reid takes the W today, throwing 2 innings and 3 strikeouts, only allowing 2 hits. Aiden

Gruber takes the L here, throwing .2 innings with a strikeout. No save was registered.
