Look What The Renegades Did To The Cyclones ... Again!

Hudson Valley brings Brooklyn's three-game win streak to a skidding halt.  In yet another instance among so many this season, the Cyclones are limited to four hits (or less) en route to a 4-1 defeat at Wappingers Falls. 

First baseman Luke Ritter with one out in the fourth, homers off Renegade starter Anderson Munoz

cutting Brooklyn's deficit to three.  But the Cyclones would score no more.  Designated hitter Francisco Alvarez accounts for half of Brooklyn's four hits, including a double and Luis Gonzalez doubles.

Making his fifth start for Brooklyn, right-hander Oscar Rojas allows four runs (two earned) on six hits and three walks in suffering his third loss.  Pitching in relief of Rojas, Nolan Clenney yields two hits and strikes out three over 2.1 scoreless innings.

Brooklyn batters draw three walks, strike out 13 times, and go 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position.  

Sometimes I feel like Jack Nicholson in The Shining ... All Strikeouts And No Hits Make Baseball A Dull Game. all strikeouts and no hits make baseball a dull game.  AlL sTrIkEoUtS aNd No HiTs MaKe BaSeBaLl A dUlL gAmE.
