Brooklyn Cyclones: A Grand Opening Day Victory Over Staten Island

SUNDAY
Brooklyn Cyclones
vs.
Staten Island Yankees
FROM
Ballpark at St. George

They say one good turn deserves another.  The first two games of the local New York Penn League season have treated us to an early pair of pitching gems.


 A night after Yankees starter Matt Sauer stymied the Cyclones through six shut-out innings of no hit ball, Coney Island's 22-year old Briam Campusano on Saturday night matched Sauer's effort at MCU Park with his own whitewashing of Staten Island through six innings of no hit ball.

Brooklyn relievers Ezequiel Zabaleta and Mac Lozer joined to pitch three innings and fan four batters, and were unfortunately charged with allowing Staten Island's lone hit of the game in the seventh.

The Cyclones jumped out to an early 1-0 lead on a double by first baseman Jose Brizuela and an RBI single by shortstop Manny Rodriguez.  Things stayed quiet until the Brooklyn half of the fifth when the Yankee bullpen suddenly imploded.  Jose Brizuela led off with a triple and scored on s base hit off the bat of catcher Carlos Sanchez.  Before long Brooklyn loaded the bases and as luck would have it, Cyclones designated hitter Kendall Coleman went deep to right for a grand slam home run.  With another run in the sixth, the Cyclones easily secured game two of their three game series by a 7-0 margin of victory.

The rubber game is scheduled for play back across the bridge at the Ballpark at St. George.
