Brooklyn Cyclones: So Many Strikeouts, So Little Runs

From the desk: THE SURF AVENUE SLUGGERS

Renegades lead Cyclones; 2-1
I - HVR 4; BKN 3
II - BKN 14; HVR 0
III - HVR 6; BKN 1

Three Hits, Fifteen Strikeouts, Fuhgeddaboudit ...

They weren't the Surf Avenue Sluggers on this night ... far from it.  Hudson Valley starter Luis Medina limits Brooklyn to one run on one hit - catcher Hayden Senger triples and scores on a double-play in the third.  Otherwise, Medina faces 19 batters and strikes out eleven through 5.2 innings pitched.  Relievers Elvis Peguero and Matt Minnick join for 3.1 scoreless innings allowing just two hits and fanning four.  That's fifteen strikeouts, folks!  They struck out eleven-time in game one.

  • Ronny Mauricio extends his hitting streak to start the season to fourteen games.

Cyclones starter Jaison Vilera allows three runs, two earned, on three hits, including a home run by shortstop Ezequiel Duran, through five innings pitched.  Reliever Colby Morris fares worse, yielding three runs on four hits in one inning pitched.  

Brooklyn drops to 5-9 (.357) and now trails the series against the Hudson Valley Renegades, two games to one.
