Renegades start strong, Defeat Griffons 9-3

 June 3, 2021 Renegades v. Griffons Recap 

 

After a close, one-run win the night before, the Jefferson City Renegades looked to obtain a more decided victory on Thursday during the team’s home opener. 

 

Beating the Nevada Griffons 9-3, that is exactly what the Renegades did. 

 

Right off the bat, Jefferson City entered the bottom of the first as an offensive powerhouse. Singles from Tommy Ruether and Hamilton Anderson, paired with a hit by pitch for Brady Voss and a fielder’s choice for Carter Mize, allowed one runner to score and left two more on base for Andrew Paten to step up to the plate and smash a three-run homerun over the fence.  

 

The Renegades continued their strong batting throughout the game. In the bottom of the third, a walk for Hamilton Anderson, a single from Paten and a double from Kolin Demel led to all three crossing the plate. Next, in the bottom of the sixth, a single from Voss, a walk for Mize and another single from Anderson combined to get Voss home and put Jefferson City up 8-0. 

 

In the top of the eighth, the Griffons finally put two runs on the board when an error for the Renegades and a triple from Nevada’s Chase Beiter scored Tyler Davis and Ryan Rodgers. 

 

Right away, however, another hit by pitch for Voss in the bottom of the eighth, followed by singles from Mize and Hamilton, allowed Voss to once again come home.  

 

The Griffons managed to put one more run on the board in the top of the ninth, but it was too little too late for Nevada and Jefferson City secured its first win at home, 9-3. 

 

While multiple Renegades demonstrated clear skill on the offensive side of the ball, there is no question that the defensive standout of Thursday’s game was starting pitcher Ethan Osborne. Going seven full innings, Osborne recorded only one hit and three walks while letting up zero runs in his first outing.  

 

Jefferson City returns home for a double header against the Clarinda A’s at 5 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Vivion Field.

Late Night Thriller, Renegades Comeback to Beat Mudcats 13-12

    June  1 4 , 2021 Renegades v.  Mudcat s  Recap   Monday night’s outing between the Jefferson City Renegades and the Chillicothe Mudcats can only be described as an offensive showdown.     The Mudcats jumped out to an early lead, and one that did not look good for the Renegades. With two outs, a combination of hits, errors and passed balls moved Chillicothe around the bases and brought in four runs.     Singles from Brady Voss and Carter Mize, followed by a sacrifice fly from Hamilton Anderson and a single from K aden Helsel, would allow Voss and Mize to come home, making the score 4-2 after the first inning.     Both the Mudcats and the Renegades would each pull in one run in the second inning, Jefferson City doing so through singles from David Dell and Mize, a hit by pitch for Voss and an error that allowed Caden Diel on base.     Following a scoreless third inning, the Chillicothe offense exploded again in the top of the fourth off a series of doubles and walks. The team’s three

Renegades split Double Header with A's, both teams win 1

  June  5 , 2021 Renegades v.  A’ s Recap     Saturday marked the first of multiple double headers for the Jefferson City Renegades, as well as the team’s first outing against the Clarinda A’s.     It would prove to be a back-and-forth night between the two, resulting in two similar games with two opposite outcomes.     The first game kicked off slowly, with neither team scoring until the bottom of the third inning when Jefferson City’s Tommy Reuther sent a solo shot over the centerfield fence to put the Renegades up 1-0.     Reuther, recording  three  fantastic catches in leftfield for Jefferson City in addition to his homerun ,  would be the team’s offensive and defensive star of the game.     While the team maintained their lead through the scoreless fourth inning, it painfully slipped away in the top of the fifth. Following a walk, a wild pitch and an error, the A’s went ahead 2-1, while the Renegades struggled to find solid pitching. Starting pitcher Trenton Morrow was replaced by

Anderson's big night propels Renegades to a win, Shut out of Bombers

June 18, 2021 Renegades v. Bombers Recap Friday night’s outing between the Jefferson City Renegades and the Sedalia Bombers got off to a very slow start. Though the Renegades were able to put a few runners on, even loading the bases at one time, four scoreless innings passed before any type of crossing the plate would occur. Finally, in the bottom of the fifth inning, Carter Mize reached first on a walk and was subsequently brought home by a homerun from Hamilton Anderson to put Jefferson City ahead, 2-0. The Bombers once again failed to score in the top of the sixth inning, and Jefferson City remained offensively hot. Four more Renegades added to the team’s lead; Dawson Shuemann and Ale Claro both scoring following singles, plus Caden Diel, following a walk, and Brady Voss, following a hit by pitch, both coming home from a double by Anderson. Jefferson City continued to hold Sedalia to zero runs throughout the remainder of the game, picking up one additional run in the bottom of the e
