Baby Bums Take Down Evil Empire Plebs in Coney Island Thriller

With twenty games left in the season, playoff fever has gripped Coney Island.  A crowd of upwards of 3,600 were treated to a ninth-inning thriller.  However, through the first eight frames, a lot of nail-biting was going on.

Left fielder Matt Rudick scored on a fielder's choice in the first inning, and Jaylen Palmer homered in the second to give the Cyclones a 2-0 lead.  But it would not last.  Hudson Valley designated hitter Spencer Henson tied the game with a two-run double in the third.

The score then remained unchanged through the eighth.  Both starting pitchers exited to a no-decision.  Brooklyn's Christian Scott allowed two runs on one hit and three walks with five strikeouts in 2.2 innings.  Right-hander Trey McLoughlin followed with 4.1 scoreless innings of two-hit ball with five strikeouts, and Daison Acosta followed with a scoreless eighth and ninth inning.

Matt Rudick singled to left field with one out and runners on first and second in the home ninth, scoring Jaylen Palmer from second with the winning run.

Brooklyn once again leapfrogs into first place ahead of the Renegades.  BOXSCORE
