Brooklyn Cyclones Bow in First-Ever Match Against Winston-Salem Dash

From the desk: THE SURF AVENUE SLUGGERS

Winston-Salem vs. Brooklyn

I - WSD 4; BKN 2

The first ever game played between the Winston-Salem Dash, and Brooklyn Cyclones goes to the visitors from North Carolina.  The Dash opened with a run in the first inning in a hotly contested match.  Not until the fourth inning did the Cyclones tie the game.  But Winston-Salem reestablished a lead with two runs in the sixth and one more in the eighth.  Brooklyn did threaten in the ninth.  Brooklyn right fielder Stanley Consuegra singled home a run to bring the 'Clones within two.  But with two outs and runners on the corners, up to the plate stepped young Alex Ramirez, who struck out to end the game.  Right-hander Luis Moreno gave up three runs on nine hits, including two home runs, in 5.2 innings for the loss.

Good luck to pitchers Nick Zwack and Carson Seymour, who on Tuesday were both traded to the Giants.  Thank you for your time in Brooklyn!
