Joe Suozzi Causes Rock Slide in Wilmington
Brooklyn bounced back from Tuesday's opening loss to defeat Wilmington and even the series at one.
Second baseman Jose Peroza doubled home a run in the first inning, then reached on a fielder's choice, and scored in the third. First baseman Joe Suozzi cleared the bases with a grand slam home run to right field as part of a six-run fourth inning, giving the Cyclones an 8-0 lead.
The Blue Rocks finally manufactured a run in the home fourth to ruin the shutout. Otherwise, the Blue Rocks were limited to six hits.
Making his sixth start with Brooklyn, starter Dominic Hamel allowed one run on three hits and no walks with four strikeouts in five innings for the win. He improved to 4-0 with a 1.80 ERA. Southpaw Nathan Lavender yielded a hit and fanned a pair in two innings, and fellow left-hander Cam Opp closed things out with two scoreless innings.
Leadoff batter Matt Rudick was 2 for 4 with a double, two walks, and two runs scored. With seven home runs, Joe Suozzi tied Jaylen Palmer for the team lead. In his second game with Brooklyn, third baseman William Lugo donned the golden sombrero, going 0 for 5 with three strikeouts.
The win snaps a two-game skid and gets the Cyclones (52-52) back to par. Hudson Valley defeated Aberdeen to maintain their half-game lead over Brooklyn. BOXSCORE.
