Taconic Hills came tearing into Thursday's match with six straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 9 runs), and they left with even more momentum. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Albany Falcons an 8-0 shutout. The Titans have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Falcons, too.
Francis Conners-Schmid made a splash while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out 16 over seven innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in five consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-4 with two runs and one stolen base.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Tristan Super, who went 3-for-4 with three stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Tyler Mulrein, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases and two RBI.
Taconic Hills pushed their record up to 14-3 with the win, which was their fifth straight on the road. Those road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.2 runs on average over those games. As for Albany, they have been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last seven games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-8 record this season.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Taconic Hills will host Red Hook at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. As for Albany, they will face off against Catskill at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Cats have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 6.78 runs per game on average), something the Falcons will no doubt try to take advantage of.
