Reliever Trey Bacon took the loss after coming on with one out in the 10th, getting a strikeout before giving up a single to Drew Garth, who would eventually come around to score an unearned run.
Giuseppe Arcuri stayed hot, going 2-3 with a run scored, a double, and a walk. Caleb Rodriguez went 2-4 with a run scored and a stolen base.
The Muckdogs are 19-9 with a two-game lead over Jamestown (15-9) in the West.
At 6:35 tonight (Tuesday), the Muckdogs take on Geneva to start a run of five consecutive home games, which includes games on Thursday, on July 13, July 14 (non-league game), July 15, and July 16.
In other Muckdogs news, Batavia's 2021 starting shortstop Charlie Szykown was taken in the ninth round of the MLB draft by the San Francisco Giants.
