Golden Eagles Fall at Shuttlesworth Park

Amsterdam, NY - The Glens Falls Golden Eagles fell to the Amsterdam Mohawks on Thursday, June 12 by a score of 8-2.  The loss gives Glens Falls a 3-2 record on the season.  The defeat was the first for the Golden Eagles on the road, but the second consecutive to the Mohawks.

The Golden Eagles were held to only two runs on six hits by Mohawks hurlers Kyle Putnam (Marist), Brennan Wojdyla (Marist), Mike Kaczmarek (Kentucky) and Sean Gregory (Albany).  Putnam and Wojdyla each allowed one run, with Wojdyla earning the win in one inning of relief.
