Recapish


            After mostly being outplayed over the last 12 innings of this series, the Brooklyn Cyclones kept things closer in game three, but ran into the Oriole’s 2nd round compensation pick, Zac Lowther. The lefty Lowther was dominant over three innings of work, allowing just a single and striking out five on 38 pitches. The Mets 4th (Tony Dibrell) 7th (Connor O’Neil) and 9th (Cannon Chadwick) round picks all made their debut in relief Friday night, combing to allow a run on three hits over three innings.
            The Iron Birds jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the 1st on three straight hits, including back-to-back doubles from T.J. Nighting and Ben Breazeale.


            Quinn Brodey connected for the Cyclones first hit of the game with one out in the 2nd, but never made it beyond first base.


            Cyclones starter Gunnar Kines settled down after his rocky 1st, keeping the Birds off the board through the 5th, with a pair of perfect frames along the way.

            Brooklyn’s second hit of the game came from Jose Maria, with one out in the 5th.


            Tony Dibrell took over for the 6th and got three groundouts in the frame. He also allowed a solo homer to Trevor Craport, which made this a 3-0 game. Although he fell to the Mets in the 4th round, Dibrell has starter upside and was one of the top pitchers in his conference this past season. I looked through a lot of Dibrell highlights when the Mets drafted him (don’t often see the low lights, which is why I’ve been trying to show them here more often), and his stuff can get pretty nasty, so hopefully the Mets can help mold him into a future major league starter. Amazin’ Aveune’s Steve Sypa wrote a draft profile of him here for more details on his stuff.

            Reed Gamache ripped one into the LF corner in the 7th, but held up at first so as not to make an out with his team down three runs. I don’t agree with the caution in this case, as the team has been struggling for offense, and that has to be a double unless you’re just a below average runner.


            Cannon Chadwick took over for the 7th and he finished a scoreless frame with his first pro strikeout – Sypa wrote him up here.

            Connor O’Neil induced four grounders in his pro debut, one of which went through the right side for a single – the Sypa profile is here.

            Brooklyn’s final hit came from Jose Medina in the 9th, and he worked his way around to third base, but the Cyclones couldn’t scratch out a run.


            After being swept out of Aberdeen, the Brooklyn Cyclones head home to start a three game series with Connecticut. The Cyclones will make a one-game appearance on MiLB.tv next weekend against Staten Island, but they won’t be back again until the end of July, when they return to Aberdeen. Hopefully the team will have figured some things out by then so they can get some revenge on the Iron Birds.
