Up from St. Lucie and making his second start for Brooklyn, southpaw Nick Zwack exited on the winning side of a 4-2 game, allowing two runs on two hits, including a home run and one walk, with three strikeouts over four innings pitched.
The Cyclones opened the first inning with three consecutive extra-base hits. Left fielder Rowdey Jordan led off with a double. Shortstop Shervyen Newton followed with another two-bagger, scoring Jordan. Catcher Matt O'Neill then tripled home Newton and scored on JT Schwartz's grounder to second for a 3-0 Brooklyn lead.
Designated hitter Nic Gaddis doubled home JT Schwartz in the third, and with the bases loaded in the fifth, Wilmer Reyes' sac-fly to center scored Schwartz giving the Cyclones a 5-2 lead.
Afterwhich, it was a matter of holding on. The score remained unchanged through the eighth. Facing right-hander Justin Courtney in the ninth, the Blue Rocks rallied for two runs on four hits, two for extra bases. With two outs and the tying run on second base, Courtney struck out Yasel Antuna to end the game.
Right-hander Hunter Parsons threw three scoreless innings in relief of Nick Zwack to earn the victory, and Antuna got the save.
