appingers Falls, N.Y. (July 19, 2024) — On a historic Friday night at Heritage Financial Park, the Hudson Valley Renegades threw their third no-hitter in franchise history in a remarkable 1-0 walk-off win over the Rome Emperors. After nine no-hit innings from the Hudson Valley pitching staff, a towering walk-off home run to right field by Roc Riggio broke a scoreless tie to complete the no-hitter in astounding fashion.

The no-hitter thrown by Kyle Carr, Trent Sellers and Hueston Morrill was the first for Hudson Valley since July 10, 2021, against the Brooklyn Cyclones, and the first at Heritage Financial Park since August 10, 2000 vs the Pittsfield Mets. That no-no, thrown by Doug Waechter, was also the only other nine-inning no-hitter in Renegades franchise history.

Carr (Palomar College '23) was tremendous, throwing five no-hit innings and allowing just three baserunners in the game. After Carr walked three of the first five batters he faced, the southpaw retired eleven in a row to complete his outing. Two runners caught stealing aided Carr in navigating the walks in the first two innings. In his last three starts at home, he has now allowed just two runs in 15.2 innings.

Sellers was tremendous in relief of Carr, continuing his outstanding stretch on the mound. He tossed three perfect innings, not allowing a single baserunner while striking out three. In his last six appearances, Sellers has now thrown 16.2 consecutive scoreless innings.

In the ninth inning, Justin Janas walked to lead off the ninth for Rome, ending a streak of 20 consecutive batters retired by Renegades pitching that began in the second inning. However, Hueston Morrill then secured three consecutive outs to complete nine no-hit frames.
