Brooklyn Cyclones Suffer Familiar Fate in Series Opener at Hudson Valley

From the desk: THE CONEY ISLAND NINE

I - HV 7; BK 6

Game Gets Away From Cyclones in the Sixth

Brooklyn got off to a rousing start on Luis Gonzalez's second-inning grand slam home run.  But after keeping HudsonValley off the board through the first four innings, starter David Griffin surrenders a three-run home run off the bat of center fielder Everson Pereira, cutting Brooklyn's lead to one.  

Griffin exits on the winning side of a 3-2 game after allowing five hits and one walk with five strikeouts through five innings.  With Luis Montas pitching the sixth in relief of Griffin, the Renegades muster four runs on five hits, with two going for extra bases for an abrupt 7-3 lead.

Shortstop Ronny Mauricio hits a two-run home run in the eighth, but it's not enough.

David Griffin is reduced to a no-decision, while Luis Montas takes the loss.  Right-hander Nolan Clenney closes out the game with two scoreless innings.  

Meanwhile, three Hudson Valley Renagade pitchers join together in limiting the Cyclones to a mere four hits, albeit two went for home runs and just two walks with 13 strikeouts for the joint effort victory.  Right-hander Matt Sauer earns the win, and Derek Craft the save.

The Hudson Valley Renegades now own a lopsided 21-9 record against the Brooklyn Cyclones by taking Tuesday's series opener.

Ronny Mauricio takes over the team lead with 19 home runs.  BOXSCORE
