MUCKDOGS WIN HOME OPENER VS PIONEERS IN WALK-OFF FASHION

May 30, 2026

BATAVIA, NY- The Muckdogs came out the gates firing on all cylinders with a steal of home,

which was combated by a Pios sac fly. After that, the Muckdogs took off and never slowed

down, scoring 11 unanswered runs and mercied Elmira 12-1 in the seventh inning.

The steal of home came after Landon Hu stole second, allowing Cooper Romich to score.

Elmira’s only run of the game came from a sac fly off the bat of Manoel Essley, scoring Ryan

Jones. However, it would not matter in the end, as Jacob Veczko (1-2, BB) blasted a 2-run home

run to walk off the Pioneers.

Gavin Chandler would earn the win after throwing 5 2/3 innings, striking out 2 and allowing 1

run earned. Lucas Hail would be the unfortunate one getting the loss, pitching 4 innings with 3

strikeouts and allowing 3 earned runs.

Your Batavia Muckdogs during game stole a season high 11 bases against the Pioneers,
