Brooklyn Cyclones: Ninth inning comeback at Norwich leads to seventh victory of season, tying Coney Island for league lead.
Behind by two runs entering the top of the ninth at Connecticut, the visiting Cyclones batted around during a five run outburst in which they sent ten players to the plate en route to an 8-5 comeback effort over the Tigers.
Saturday's win completes Brooklyn's three game sweep at Dodd Stadium, in which they outscored the Norwich club by an unapologetic 25-6 margin. Their seventh victory of the young season also ties them with the Mahoning Valley Scrappers for most in the league.
Brooklyn starter Nicolas Debora faced 20 batters through five innings work, throwing 70 pitches with 44 (62%) going for strikes. The Tigers treated him unkindly, though, generating four earned runs on eight hits and a walk. Debora fanned four batters and escaped with a no-decision. He started his 2018 season with the Columbia Fireflies where he appeared in eleven games (all in relief) and posted a 2.95 ERA through 18.1 innings pitched. He is now in his second season with the Cyclones. In 2017 he appeared in 14 games, posting s 2.33 ERA and 1.35 WHiP, with 56 strikeouts though 54 innings pitched. The 24-year old right-hander has been with the organization since 2012.
The Cyclones enter Sunday's series opener against the Lowell Spinners owning a one game lead over the second place Hudson Valley Renegades, who kept pressure on the Cyclones with their own 11-0 romp over Vermont.
