Cyclones Even Series With Hot Rods; Cam Opp Picks Up Three Inning Save
Bowling Green designated hitter Osleivis Basabe led off the game with a double to left field and scored on Diego Infante's base hit through the left side with one out.
But Brooklyn was quick to respond. With one out and the bases loaded in the home half of the first, Jose Mena's double to left field gave Brooklyn a 2-1 lead they would not relinquish. They picked up an insurance run when Tanner Murphy doubled leading off the fifth, advanced to third, and scored on a wild pitch.
Starter Oscar Rojas and two relievers posted goose eggs over the game's final eight innings. Rojas earned the win after allowing the lone run on five hits and one walk with six strikeouts over 5.2 innings pitched. Right-hander Reyson Santos recorded an out to close out the sixth inning, and southpaw Cam Opp picked up the rare three-inning save. The three together allowed seven hits and four walks with eight strikeouts.
Cyclones hitters drew six walks this game and batted 8 for 31 (.258) with six extra-base hits but were 1 for 11 with runners in scoring position and continued striking out (eleven) in double-digits.
Coney Island gets back over the .500 mark with a 10-9 record and evens the series with Bowling Green.
