Recapish
The
Brooklyn Cyclones let one slip away in Aberdeen Sunday evening, dropping the
series opener with the Iron Birds 7-6 after holding leads of 3-0 and 6-4. Jose
Carlos Medina made the start for Brooklyn and had his second straight rough
outing in the loss. The Fireflies held a 6-4 lead for a little after Medina
left, but then the Iron Birds got a lucky bounce against Tony Dibrell in the 7th
to tie it, and took advantage of some wildness from Cannon Chadwick in the 9th
for a walkoff.
After starting the season with a
2.41 ERA and 21 K: 5 BB through six starts, Jose Carlos Medina has allowed nine
runs (seven earned) over his last two outings (7.2 IP), with just three
strikeouts against fifteen hits and two walks allowed. He retired the first six
in a row before things got ugly Sunday, striking out one and inducing four
groundouts along the way.

While
Medina was mowing down the Birds for two innings, the Cyclones were building up
a 3-0 lead. They scored two runs in the 2nd on two singles and a lot
of help from Aberdeen. There was a walk, a wild pitch, an E9 after the first
hit, a passed ball, and an error on a pickoff attempt during the frame – hey,
that’s short season baseball for ya.

Brooklyn
added a run on just one single in the 3rd. Walter Rasquin reached
second on an E8 and Quinn Brodey singled him home to make it a 3-0 game.

Markel
Jones started the bottom of the 3rd with a triple as Aberdeen
quickly got all three runs back. They scored the three runs on three more
singles and a sac fly before Medina ended the frame.
T.J.
Nichting greeted Medina with a double to start the 4th and the Birds
got him home to take their first lead of the game at 4-3.

But
the Cyclones had some fight in their lineup on this night and would charge
right back ahead in the 5th. Leon Byrd started the frame with a
double, went to third on a sac bunt, and then came home on a fielder’s choice.
With two outs in the frame, Quinn Brodey stole second and then came around to
score the go ahead run on a strikeout/E2. The Cyclones made that mistake count
twice when Jeremy Wolf followed with an RBI double to make this a 6-3 game. Also shown below is a single from Cecilio Aybar.

Cyclones
Manager Edgardo Alfonzo brought in his newest reliever for the 5th
and the Mets 10th round pick from this past draft did not
disappoint. After a very strong pro debut with Kingsport over the past
month-plus, Stephen Villines struck out five of seven batters faced in his NYPL
debut.

Villines
would hand the ball off to the Mets 4th round pick from this past
draft, Tony Dibrell, who has struggled a bit with Brooklyn this season. I’m not
concerned about struggles in short season ball – college clips I saw of Dibrell
looked very nice – but Dibrell did run into trouble again in this outing.
Kirvin Moesquit connected on a two out double to put two in scoring position
against Dibrell, and then Mason McCoy knocked both runners in with a one-hopper
off Dibrell’s legs. Dibrell recovered the ball in time to maybe have a play at
home, but his throw home went awry and both runners came home safely.

Dibrell
struck out three total Sunday but he ran into trouble again during the 8th
and Cannon Chadwick had to bail him out. Chadwick came in with two on and two
out and would strike out Garrett Copeland to end the threat.

Unfortunately
for Chadwick, the 9th did not go as well. He walked the first two
batters and then Ben Breazeale singled home the winning run for an Aberdeen
walkoff.
Looking
ahead, the Cyclones will get a ‘rehab’ appearance from Colin Holderman Monday
as they look to even the series with Aberdeen.
