Summary: Fireworks were flying on the fourth of July for the Saugerties Stallions, who claimed a 6-5 victory over the Utica Blue Sox. It was quiet on the offensive front for the Stallions early in the game, trailing 3-1, until an explosive four-run 6th inning finally put them ahead of Utica. Utica, though, kept the game close, scoring runs in the 7th and 8th to pull within one heading into the 9th. The Stallions’ defense then stepped up and secured the one-run victory at home, improving the team’s record to 14-10 on the season.
