HISTORY AT CONEY ISLAND
Tuesday, April 12, 2022, at Coney Island, marked the first professional baseball game played by a team representing Brooklyn since April 30, 1957, when the Dodgers defeated the visiting Chicago Cubs sixty-five years ago by a final score of 10-9 in ten innings at Ebbets Field. In the ninth inning, Sandy Amaros hit a game-tying home run, and Don Zimmer hit a game-winning home run in the tenth. Gil Hodges also homered in the game, and Roy Campanella hit two home runs.

FINAL
Cyclones Take Opening Battle of the Beaches
The Brooklyn Cyclones took an early 1-0 lead in the second. With one out, the offensive star of the game JT Schwartz tripled to right, and with two outs, scored on right fielder Brandon McIlwain's double into the left/center field gap.
Starter Garrison Bryant yielded single runs in the third and fourth innings and exited on the losing side of a 2-1 game after surrendering five hits and one walk with six strikeouts through 3.2 innings pitched.
But Bryant's mates got him off the hook. The Cyclones loaded the bases in the fifth inning, and with no outs, second baseman Wyatt Young singled home the tying run. Afterwhich, the go-ahead run scored when third baseman Jose Peroza grounded into a 6-4-3 double play. With two outs and Wilmer Reyes, the base runner at third, first baseman JT Schwartz lined a home run to right, giving the Cyclones a 5-2 lead and the final margin of victory. Schwartz ended the night 3 for 4 with a pair of extra-base hits, two runs scored, and two runs batted in.
Four Brooklyn relievers joined together for 5.1 scoreless innings pitched. In relief of Bryant, right-hander Hunter Parsons allowed just one hit and one walk with five strikeouts over 2.1 innings to earn the victory. Righty Sammy Tavarez struck out two batters during a scoreless ninth for the save.
