Boardwalk Bums Extend Winning Streak to Season-High Six Games
Brooklyn kicks off Sunday afternoon's series finale with a four-run first inning. Center fielder Antoine Duplantis, who remains hot as the sun, triples leading off the game and scores on Edgardo Fermin's ground-rule double over the left field wall. Back behind the plate, Francisco Alvarez doubles home Fermin. The hit parade continues with Jeremy Vasquez driving home Alvarez. Vasquez then scores the Cyclone's fourth run on a throwing error by the Blue Rock first baseman.
Wilmington begins immediately chipping away at Brooklyn's lead. Facing starter Luc Rennie, the Blue Rocks score single runs in the second and fourth innings highlighted by left fielder Jeremy Ydens' home run. Luc Rennie departs the game after four on the winning side of a 4-2 game. Wilmington picks up their third run in the fifth against reliever Joe Cavallaro, then ties the game at four against Colby Morris in the seventh.
Cyclone right-hander Willy Tavaras pitches a scoreless eighth and ninth inning. Edgardo Fermin leading off the bottom of the frame, draws a walk. With one out, he steals second base, then advances to third on a wild pitch. With two outs, Jeremy Vasquez is issued an intentional walk putting runners on the corners. Second baseman Luis Gonzalez then seizes the role of hero with the game-winning base hit through the left side, scoring Fermin from third. Willy Tavaras earns the win.
Accounting for half of Brooklyn's hits, Luis Gonzalez goes 3 for 5, and Antoine Duplantis likewise goes 3 for 5 with a double and triple. Francisco Alvarez now has 27 RBI in 45 games with Brooklyn.
The Cyclones complete their first series sweep this season and extend their season-high winning streak to six.
