The Nighthawks prevailed despite managing only three hits off six Muskrat pitchers.
Quirion’s blast off Erry Baldayac (0-1), who allowed three runs and two of Upper Valley’s hits in ⅓ inning, was part of a three-run rally that snapped a 1-1 tie in front of an announced crowd of 967. Christopher Berry, who led off the inning with a walk, also scored on the homer.
Later in the inning, Eric Feliz singled to score Hunter Gibson (walk). Quiron’s fourth-inning double was the Nighthawks’ only other hit.
Upper Valley starter Reid VanScoter (1-0) allowed two hits over six innings to earn the win. He struck out seven and walked one. Cole Stetzar allowed two hits over three innings to collect the save.
