That's More Like It!
Based on how this series has been playing itself out these last two seasons, I couldn't be happier. Any victory against the Hudson Valley Renegades with more than three hits and under ten strikeouts makes for a glorious day! Oh, the joy!
Brooklyn jumped out to an early lead. Left fielder Rowdey Jordan singled and scored on Shervyen Newton's double to right field in the third inning. Hudson Valley tied the game in the top half of the fifth. But Brooklyn rallied for three runs in the home half of the frame. Center fielder Jaylen Palmer
homered leading off, and Jose Mena and Matt O'Neill followed with run-scoring doubles for a 4-1 Cyclones lead they would not relinquish. The Renegades scored twice more in the seventh, but the Brooks secured an insurance run in the bottom half of the frame for a 5-3 lead and the final margin of victory.
Of the Cyclones' seven hits, five went for extra bases. They drew five walks and fanned "just" seven times.
Making his first start in nine appearances, Nolan Klenney held the Renegades scoreless on three hits and one base on balls with a pair of strikeouts over four innings pitched but walked off to a no-decision. Right-hander Colby Morris surrendered a home run but earned the win with two innings in relief of Klenney, and Hunter Parsons picked up the save with a scoreless eighth and ninth inning.
