Feel the Breeze..!
Here we go again ...
Baseball's indifference to striking out is ponderous to me.
In Tuesday's series opener, the Cyclones struck out 17 times in 33 at-bats. On Wednesday, they struck out 18 times in 32 at-bats. That's 35 strikeouts in their last 65 at-bats.
Through their first eleven games, the Cyclones as a team are striking out at a rate of 35% (108/308), which I find crazy.
Clinging to a 3-2 lead entering the ninth inning, Brooklyn pushed across what would prove to be the game's decisive run. Left fielder Matt Rudick drew a leadoff walk and scored on JT Schwartz's single to center. Hudson Valley rallied for a run in the home ninth, but Cyclones right-hander Reyson Santos held on through his second inning of work for the save.
JT Schwartz finished 2 for 3 with two walks and two runs batted in. Starter David Griffin walked off to a no-decision, allowing one run on three hits and one walk with five strikeouts through 4.0 innings pitched. Right-hander Justin Courtney earned the victory in relief.
