Diamond Dawgs Dominate Oneonta in 24‑Run Blowout Victory

By David LaGuerre

The Mohawk Valley Diamond Dawgs put on a jaw-dropping performance Thursday night, delivering a 24-run offensive explosion to mercy-rule the Oneonta Outlaws in the seventh inning. This high-octane victory at Veteran’s Memorial Park was the latest in a blistering hot streak that has fans and local baseball enthusiasts buzzing.

An Unstoppable Offensive Machine

It only took seven innings for the Diamond Dawgs to leave no doubt about their dominance. This wasn’t just a win—it was a showcase of strategic hitting, aggressive base-running, and airtight teamwork.

• Top performer Jake Turek led the charge, driving in four runs, including a two-run double that broke the game wide open in the second inning.

• Pitcher Collin Toussaint not only silenced the Outlaws from the mound, allowing only one run on five hits, but also contributed two RBIs at the plate.

• A monstrous 13-run second inning essentially sealed Oneonta’s fate before the game even hit its halfway mark.

As Coach Tom Valente put it, “We’re not letting up. These kids believe in each other, and the chemistry is something special.”

A Sign of Bigger Things to Come?

This isn’t an isolated spark—the Dawgs have consistently been among the highest-scoring teams in the PGCBL this season. Their ability to combine power hitting with smart situational play makes them a serious contender for the championship.

The win improves Mohawk Valley’s record to 22–9, placing them firmly in playoff contention and making them a must-watch team for local fans.

Community Pride and Summer Baseball Magic

The Dawgs’ success is about more than baseball—it’s about community spirit. Games at Veteran’s Memorial Park in Little Falls have become a rallying point for families, youth athletes, and long-time residents who love seeing local talent shine on the diamond.

If this streak continues, expect the stands to keep filling—and the cheers to get even louder.
