Cyclones and Mother Nature Douse the Dash on Coney Island

Still looking for their first-ever win against the Winston-Salem Dash, Brooklyn opened the scoring in the third.  The young and highly touted Alex Ramirez singled home two runs.  They increased their lead in the fifth.  Catcher Nic Gaddis doubled home a run, and Jose Peroza doubled home two giving Brooklyn a 5-0 lead.

Meanwhile, starter Dominic Hamel allowed no runs on just one hit and two walks with seven strikeouts in five innings.

In the top half of the seventh, Dash first baseman Harvin Mendoza homered against Nolan Clenney, 

pitching in relief of Hamel, and a light rain began to fall.  Then, in the bottom half of the frame at 8:59 pm, after a nearby flash of lightning, the game was delayed and ultimately called after a brief wait.

The game was declared an official contest, resulting in Brooklyn's first-ever, although abbreviated victory against the Winston-Salem Dash ball club.  BOXSCORE
