Aberdeen Ironbirds Defeat Brooklyn Cyclones to Knot Series

From the desk: THE CONEY ISLAND NINE

SOUTH ATLANTIC LEAGUE
NORTH DIVISION PLAYOFF
I - BKN 8; ABD 1
II - ABD 6; BKN 1

Series Tied at One; Decisive Game Three on Friday

The IronBirds brought Brooklyn's momentum to an abrupt halt Thursday evening at Aberdeen.  Facing right-hander Dominic Hamel, the Birds scored early and often, knocking the Cyclone starter out of the box after the fourth.  Hamel allowed five earned runs on five hits and four walks, and the Bird's pitching made it stand.  The Clones were held to four hits and two walks.  Third baseman William Lugo spoiled the shutout with a solo home run in the fifth.  Aberdeen scored against Sammy Tavarez in the seventh inning for a 6-1 lead and the final margin of victory.  The season hangs in the balance for the respective teams, the loser goes home, and the winner advances to the SAL championship series.
