Recap


            The Cyclones took the rubber match in Aberdeen Sunday evening behind a huge night from Zach Mathieu at the plate, and some strong pitching. Brooklyn starter Eddie Villasmil would allow only 4 hits over his 6 innings, but one of those hits allowed was a two run bomb to Ryan Mountcastle (on the first pitch Mountcastle saw in the NYPL), which gave the Iron Birds a 2-0 lead in the 2nd. The Cyclones gradually came back in this game, with Jeff Diehl and Zach Mathieu at the center of their 3 one-run rallies. Jose Celas, P.J. Conlon, and Carlos Valdez each worked a scoreless inning in relief of Villasmil, holding onto the tight one run lead. After emerging at the end of extended spring training (per manager Tom Gamboa), Celas has mostly had a lost season, so it was nice to see him throwing a scoreless inning to earn the win.
            Check out the scoring details below, including some highlights of the Cyclones offense. The Cyclones head home to begin a series with Hudson Valley Monday night at 7:00 PM, with Tyler Badamo (3-6, 3.53 ERA) scheduled to pitch for Brooklyn.


Scoring Highlights


            The Cyclones played 3 games in Aberdeen over the weekend, and Alfredo Reyes led off the game with a single in all 3 games, although he’d only come around to score once.


            After retiring the first 5 Aberdeen batters of the game, Edioglis Villasmil allowed a two out single to Mike Odenwaelder, and then Ryan Mountcastle launched a two run bomb to LF in his first NYPL at bat.

            Zach Mathieu doubled home Jeff Diehl (walk) in the 4th inning, but was later thrown out at home trying to score on a single to LF from Brandon Brosher.



            Diehl extended the 6th inning with a two out double lined to RF, and then came home on an RBI infield single from Mathieu.



            With Kaupe on 1B from a leadoff walk in the 8th inning, Diehl singled to CF, and both runners advanced when it was misplayed out there by Oswill Lartiguez. Mathieu would come through with his third RBI hit of the night to give the Cyclones a late lead.





Defensive Highlights


           A couple of infield singles to the Cyclones middle infielders, and then Alfredo Reyes making a more routine play.
