Batavia (28-29) held Staten Island (33-23) to just three hits to avoid the sweep and to inch back closer to .500 in the 5-0 win.
Scoring started early as the Muckdogs plated one in the 1st. Alan Ahmady reached on a walk and came in to score on the next at-bat on a double by Matthew Adams.
They broke the game open by scoring four in the 6th. Devin Goodwin started off the inning with a double and scored on a RBI single by Adams. After Jon Edwards walked, Luis De La Cruz hit a double down the left field line to score both Adams and Edwards. De La Cruz came home later in the inning on a wild pitch.
Chris Corrigan (2-2, 2.89) got the win in the start going five innings with three hits, three walks and one strikeout. Justin Smith followed him to get his first hold of the season. Smith went three innings with one walk and five strikeouts. Tyler Lavigne closed out the 9th with a strikeout.
Adams finished 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI. Goodwin and De La Cruz both had doubles.
The majority of the New York-Penn League now has two days off for the All-Star break taking place in State College. Good luck to Muckdogs Alan Ahmady, Luis De La Cruz and pitcher Santo Maertz in the game.
