Brooklyn Bullpen Puts Aberdeen On Hold; Luis Gonzalez Drives Home Decisive Runs in Eighth
Aberdeen holds the early advantage. Making his sixth start for the Cyclones, right-hander Luc Rennie surrenders two hits and issued two walks in the first inning as the Ironbirds jump out to a prompt 2-0 led.
Second baseman Luke Ritter drives home one run in the bottom half of the first, third baseman Luis Gonzalez singles and scores the tying run in the second, and in the fourth, Cody Bohanek doubles and scored on Antoine Duplantis' line single to right field, giving Brooklyn a 3-2 lead.
With Luc Rennie pitching in the fifth, Aberdeen retakes the lead with another pair of runs. The score then remains unchanged through the seventh. Right-hander Brian Metoyer twirls two fine innings in relief of Rennie, allowing just a hit and striking out two. The Cyclones then breakthrough for three runs in the bottom of the eighth; Luis Gonzalez drives home two runs and soon scores on a throwing error by Aberdeen pitcher Ignacio Feliz for a 6-4 Cyclone lead and the final margin of victory.
Brian Metoyer's fine effort earns him the victory. Right-hander Willy Taveras strikes out three batters to close out the ninth for his third save this season. Luc Rennie escapes with a no-decision, and Ignacio Feliz takes the loss.
The Cyclones bat 3 for 13 with runners in scoring position; they strike out 12 times and draw just three walks. Of their nine hits, only one goes for extra bases. The good news is with the victory the Cyclones take a 3-2 series lead over Aberdeen. BOXSCORE
