Coney Island Loses Second Straight at Williamsport
Opportunities lost, not to mention nine losses in their last 14 games. The Cyclones continue slip sliding away it seems. On Saturday, the Hudson Valley Renegades help Brooklyn's cause with a loss against West Virginia, while Aberdeen likewise obliges with a loss against the Vermont Lake Monsters. Only the Cyclones are unable to help themselves.
Leading 3-1 after seven and a half, Luis Silva toes the rubber for Brooklyn. Williamsport right fielder Hunter Hearn and DH Herbert Iser lead-off with consecutive hits. Silva then walks center fielder Corbin Williams loading the bases. Silva unleashes a wild pitch allowing Hearn to score, both runners advance into scoring position. Yet another wild pitch allows Iser to score. Silva then issues shortstop Bryson Stott an intentional pass, whom promptly steals second. After walking catcher Logan O'Hoppe manager Alfonzo finally gives Silva the hook. Brian Metoyer enters the game. The Crosscutters score a third time on second baseman Kendall Simmons sac-fly plating Williams. Williamsport's Alejandro Made retires the Cyclones in order in the ninth. Luis Silva is tagged with the loss upon surrendering three runs on two hits and three walks with one strikeout in just one third of an inning.
Brooklyn gets runs batted in from right fielder Jake Mangum, third baseman baseman Jose Peroza, and second baseman Luke Ritter.
As of close of business Saturday Hudson Valley sits atop the McNamara Division with two games in hand over the Aberdeen Ironbirds. Otherwise Aberdeen is in yet another mathematical tie for first place. Brooklyn is now 1.5 games out of first place. Even Staten Island closes their gap to just 2.5 game out of the lead. In fact, Staten Island is the hottest team in the division, having gone 7-3 in their last ten.
