Hudson Valley Renegades Take Second Straight From Brooklyn Cyclones

From the desk: THE CONEY ISLAND NINE

I - HVR 5; BKN 2
II - HVR 8; BKN 5

Cyclones Lose Second Straight at Hudson Valley

Brooklyn got off to a good start.  Of course, it's how you finish that matters.

Left fielder Matt Rudick drew a walk to open the game, and Shervyen Newton was hit by a pitch.  Afterwhich, designated hitter Nic Gaddis delivered both runners with a home run to left field.

After two scoreless at-bats, the Renegades caught up to starter Mike Vasil with three hits and two runs in the third and another three hits and three runs, including a home run in the fourth.

Shervyen Newton doubled home a run in the fifth, and Mike Rudick homered in the top of the seventh to tie the game at five.

However, right-hander Nolan Clenney yielded three runs in the bottom half of the seventh.

Renegade reliever Ryan Miller won the game in relief of starter Matt Sauer, and Nelson Alvarez 
converted a five-out save.

Making his sixth start with the Cyclones, Mike Vasil escaped with a no-decision while Nolan Clenney took the loss.  

Four of the Cyclones' six hits went for extra bases, but they only drew two walks and struck out ten times.

Mike Vasil's earned run average continues to grow after posting a 1.80 mark in eight starts and 35.0 innings with St. Lucie.  He presently sports a 5.40 ERA through 28.1 innings since being promoted to Brooklyn.
