Albany's win was their fifth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 3-1-3. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.2 runs on average over those games. As for Haskell, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 0-5-1.
