Recapish


            The Brooklyn Cyclones blew an early lead to drop their rubber match with State College 10-4 Thursday night. Cyclones starter Joel Huertas was able to limit the damage early, but then the Spikes broke this game open with 7 runs off him between the 5th and 6th innings. Meanwhile, State College’s starter Ronnie Williams retired 9 straight to start the game before Brooklyn exploded for 3 against him in the 4th, but then he threw 4 more scoreless frames while running his strikeout total to 10!
            Officially, it was bring your dog to the park night, but the Spikes were throwing a singles party of their own. They finished with 12 singles in the game, 10 of which came against Huertas, who has struggled with hits allowed early this season.
            The Spikes connected for three straight singles in the 1st to jump ahead 1-0. The score wouldn’t change until Brooklyn put together their 4th inning rally, which gave them a 3-1 lead. The momentum shifted back in the Spikes favor when they rallied for 4 runs and a 5-3 lead in the 5th. The inning featured back-to-back extra bases hits (RBI triple from Ryan McCarvel, RBI double from Bladimil Franco), and a two out RBI single for Elier Rodriguez.
            State College broke this game open with three more in the 6th, scoring two of those runs charged to Huertas after Nabil Crismatt took over. Crismatt allowed just 3 hits, but all 3 went for extra bases and led to a run for the Spikes.
            Brooklyn managed a little 9th inning rally after Ronnie Williams was removed, but it was far too late to be meaningful. I break down the scoring and defense details with highlights below, so enjoy! With this series over, Brooklyn travelled home to start a series with the Connecticut Tigers.
