BROOKLYN vs. HUDSON VALLEY; 1-1
I - HVR 3; BRK 2
II - BRK 11; HVR 7
Coney Island Nine Erupt for Seven Runs in Eighth Inning
Certain things run through one's mind when their team falls behind by five runs after just two innings. I surely had a few things whirling around mine, particularly after Austin Wells' three-run home run against Brooklyn starter Cam Opp.
But catcher Francisco Alvarez puts the Cyclones on the board in the fourth with his 16th home run (with BK) this season. Brooklyn then pulls within one with a three-run sixth, when, with two runners on base, third baseman Jose Peroza connects for a three-run home run, his first this season.
However, Hudson Valley induces another mood swing when they pull away with single runs in the home sixth and seventh innings for a 7-4 lead.
Then, in the top of the eighth, the Cyclones alter everyone's frame of mind by unleashing a seven-hit barrage including six consecutively, a triple by Jaylen Palmer, and a home run by Jeremy Vasquez, his seventh, all resulting in seven runs and an 11-7 final margin of victory.
Cam Opp allows five runs on four hits and three walks with five strikeouts but escapes with a no-decision. Next in, Josh Hejka allows a run on two hits and two walks over 2.1 innings. Winning pitcher Hunter Parsons allows a solo home run and strikes out three over 2.0 innings pitched, and only Brian Metoyer comes out of this contest unscathed with two strikeouts in a scoreless ninth.
Brooklyn evens the series against the Renegades at one. BOXSCORE
