Pitching and Defense Fail Brooklyn In The Ninth
Brooklyn opens the scoring in the second when Anthony Walters doubles home Joe Genord.
After hurling five scoreless innings, Alec Kisena yields a leadoff single and a walk to start the sixth. That's when Coach Blankmeyer summons Eric Orze from the bullpen. An Ezequiel Duran double drives in one, and a two-out single drives home two more for a 3-1 Hudson Valley lead.
The Cyclones answer back in the eighth. Blake Tiberi scores on Brett Baty's fielder's choice to first, and Francisco Alvarez's two-run home run gives Coney a 4-3 lead.
However, both Bryce Montes de Oca and Michel Otanez fail to secure the top of the ninth, allowing two runs on three hits. Shortstop Cody Bohanek's throwing error is also a primary reason why the game's conclusion went awry. Hudson Valley comes away with a 5-4 victory. It's their fourth win of the series against one loss.
The series finale is slated for Sunday. Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil is slated to play in a rehab assignment.
The Cyclones batted 6 for 31 (.193), with four walks, twelve strikeouts, and 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position. Saturday's contest marks the 18th time in 32 games they've achieved double-digit whiffs. However, since I first hurled that criticism their way after the first 20 games, they've since struck out in double-digits in only three of their last twelve games, as opposed to 15 times in 20 games to start the season. That suggests improvement. So, there's that ...
The Renegades improve to 19-14, while the Cyclones fall to 10-22, twelve games under par.
When these teams first met in May, they split the series three games apiece. Hudson Valley now owns a 7-4 edge in the season series.
