Four Home Runs Power Brooklyn Over Hudson Valley; Antoine Duplantis Hits Two
My sarcasm aside, Brooklyn eliminates any chance of a no-hitter and shutout when, with one out in the top of the first, Antoine Duplantis homers to right field against Renegade starter Shawn Semple. Hudson Valley likewise ruins Alec Kisena's bid for a no-hitter with a base hit in the bottom half of the frame.
Playing in place of injured Luke Ritter, second baseman Luis Gonzalez homers in the second. Hudson Valley gets one back in the bottom half of the frame. But then, with two outs in the third, Antoine Duplantis hits his second home run of the game giving the Cyclones a 3-1 lead.
Manager Blankmeyer, perhaps making a proactive change, brings in Josh Hejka in the fifth. Alec Kisena allows just one run on one hit and five walks, and five strikeouts through four innings pitched.
In the seventh, Adrian Hernandez drives home, Luis Gonzalez, for a 4-1 Brooklyn lead.
Hejka completes his third scoreless inning with a ten-pitch at-bat against second baseman Oliver Dunn.
Leading off the eighth, first baseman Jeremy Vasquez gives Brooklyn a 5-1 lead with his third home run this season. Afterwhich, Brooklyn erupts for five more runs. Catcher Juan Uriarte singles home a run, Antoine Duplantis walks with the bases loaded, Ronny Mauricio is hit by a pitch forcing home another, and Jeremy Vasquez drives home two giving Brooklyn a 10-1 lead. That is until the Renegades post two runs in the bottom of the eighth against right-hander Evy Ruibal.
Mitch Ragan closes out the game with a scoreless ninth. Brooklyn pitchers limit the Renegades to four hits, while Josh Hejka earns a well-deserved win.
Coney Island salvages the series finale and avoids a sweep at Hudson Valley.
