Cyclone Pitchers Join Together on Four-Hit Shutout

The hits were plentiful, and the pitching was superb as the Brooklyn Cyclones won their second straight game in their first-ever series against the Greensboro Grasshoppers.

Right fielder Stanley Consuegra doubled home Brooklyn's first run in the third inning, and the pitching made it stand.  Making his ninth start and fifteenth appearance, right-hander Garrison Bryant allowed no runs on three hits and one walk with four strikeouts in six innings for the win.  He faced twenty batters, throwing 83 pitches with 52 (62.6%) going for strikes.  Garrison improved to 5-1 with a 3.18 ERA.  Right-hander Daison Acosta closed out the game allowing one hit and one walk in three scoreless innings for his second save.

Left fielder Matt Rudick knocked home a run in the fifth, Nic Gaddis scored on a wild pitch in the sixth, and Consuegra doubled home his second run of the game in the seventh.  The Cyclones then erupted for five runs in the eighth, highlighted by Stanley Consuegra's three-run home run.  Stanley finished the afternoon 4 for 5 with three doubles, a home run, and five runs batted in; Matt Rudick went 2 for 4 with two runs batted in; Shervyen Newton was 3 for 4 with one RBI and three runs scored.
