HUDSON, NY – The Herkimer Generals baseball team finished their four-game series with Columbia-Greene Sunday, splitting games with the Twins on their home field 10-0 and 5-2.
Herkimer 29-7 (19-3) road their ace Mike DeCarlo (Wynantskill, NY) in a 10-0 game three victory. DeCarlo improved to 6-0 working all five innings of a mercy rule victory allowing one hit and one walk with two strikeouts. DeCarlo now holds a 0.70 ERA through seven starts this season.
