I - HVR 5; BKN 3
One, Two, Three Strikes; You're Out!
The visiting Cyclones promptly take a 1-0 lead to open the game. But the Renegades rally for two runs while facing Brooklyn right-hander Daison Acosta in the home half of the first.
Coney Island answered right back in the second. With one out, catcher Matt O'Neill reaches on an E5 and advances to third on Joe Suozzi's double down the left field line. O'Neill scored when left fielder
Rowdy Jordan bounced into a fielder's choice. Afterwhich, shortstop Wilmer Reyes singled home Suozzi for a 3-2 Cyclones lead.
But that's when the fun ends for Coney Island.
Hudson Valley knots the game at three against Daison Acosta in the third. In fact, both starting pitchers exit with no decisions.
The Renegades score the go-ahead against losing right-hander Nolan Clenney in the sixth and secure an insurance run in the eighth inning against Colby Morris, who pitched the final two innings for Brooklyn.
Meanwhile, three Hudson Valley relievers join together in limiting Brooklyn to no runs on just three hits and one walk with twelve strikeouts over the final six frames. Overall, the Cyclones fanned 17 times in 33 at-bats, a rate of 51.5 %, during Tuesday's series opener at Dutchess Stadium.
