POMONA, N.Y. (June 5, 2026) – Christian Adams extended his hit streak to 18 games, but it was not enough to offset a dominant performance from the New York Boulders as Fritz Guenther tied the Frontier League single-game RBI record with 10 — including two home runs — to power New York to a 17-4 blowout victory at Clover Stadium Friday night, dropping the Bird Dawgs to 12-13.

New York erupted for five runs in the third to take an early 5-0 lead before Miller-Green cut it to 5-1 with a solo homer in the fourth. The Boulders added a run later in the fourth and five more in the fifth to stretch the lead to 11-1.

Down East cut it to 11-3 in the sixth as Adams singled in a run and Miller-Green added a sacrifice fly, but Guenther answered with a grand slam and added his second homer of the night in the seventh to push the lead to 17-3 before Backus added a solo shot in the ninth to set the final at 17-4.

Axel Andueza (1-3) took the loss, allowing six runs on eight hits over four innings with four strikeouts and two walks.

Alex Barker (2-1) earned the win for New York, allowing three runs on six hits over seven innings with two strikeouts and three walks.

The Bird Dawgs (12-13) look to get back to .500 Saturday, June 6, at 6:30 p.m. ET against the Boulders (14-10) at Clover Stadium.
