Like Montgomery a few levels ahead of them, Hudson Valley has used the stolen base to its advantage. The Renegades lead the New York-Penn League with 77 steals in 102 chances — 11 more than second-place Williamsport. An Arizona League Brewers affiliate is the only short-season club with more steals than Hudson Valley, and they’ve even done it in significantly fewer games.

Durham’s rally fell short in a 7-6 loss to Gwinnett. The Stripers scored four in the first and led 5-0 before the Bulls rallied, but two insurance runs in the eighth proved to be too much.
