No Joy on Coney Island

This was easily Brooklyn's most crushing defeat against Hudson Valley this season, if not the last two seasons.  The Cyclones got off on the right foot when catcher Jose Mena singled home a run in the second.  Then began the tug-of-war.  Hudson Valley scored twice in the third, but the Cyclones tied the game on Jose Mena's home run in the fourth.  The Renegades quickly reclaimed a 3-2 lead in the fifth.  Second baseman Jose Peroza then singled home the tying run in the seventh.  Afterwhich, the score remained unchanged through the ninth.  After securing the last two outs in the previous inning, Dylan Hall climbed the bump again for the tenth.  Only this time, the rope snapped.  The Renegades scored six times, highlighted by left fielder Aaron Palensky's grand slam home run.  Brooklyn was retired in order in the bottom half of the frame.  The Cyclones now fall into a second-place tie with the Aberdeen Ironbirds.  Both trail the Renegades by 1.5 games in the (second-half) standings with 18 games left in the season.  BOXSCORE
