Brooklyn Cyclones Drop Second Straight to Wilmington

From the desk: THE SURF AVENUE SLUGGERS 

Frawley Stadium, Wilmington

Wilmington leads Brooklyn; 2-1
I - BKN 3; WIL 1
II - WIL 5; BKN 2
III - WIL 8; BKN 4

Cyclones Can't Dig Out Of Early Hole

Brooklyn starter Alec Kisena is treated rather rudely by host Wilmington who rough him up for six earned runs on nine hits, including a home run by Brady Lindsly, with a walk and four strikeouts through only 3.1 innings pitched.  The Cyclones finally get on the board, Cody Bohanek drives home two runs in the fifth.  Left fielder Blake Tiberi's two-run home run in the sixth pulls the Cyclones within two.  In relief of Alec Kisena, Michel Otanez keeps the Blue Rocks in place through the sixth.  However, Bryce Montes de Oca surrenders single runs in the seventh and eighth innings giving the Blue Rocks an 8-4 final margin of victory.
The Surf Avenue Sluggers continue swinging and missing at disturbing rates, with eleven strikeouts through the first five innings alone and 16 strikeouts for the game while drawing just two walks.  

They have struck out at least fifteen times on five occasions and whiffed in double-digits 22 times through their first 36 games played.
