Recap
Right
as this game was starting, the Aberdeen announcer mentioned how bad the
Cyclones offense has been in 2015. While that may be true even after this
12-run outburst, I bet he’s wishing that he had just bit his tongue after the
lashing the Iron Birds pitching staff took tonight. The Cyclones scored all 12
runs of their over the first 4 innings, with Alfredo Reyes and Vinny Siena
heading to the plate 4 times in those first 4 frames. Reyes and Jose Garcia led
the way on offense, each providing 2 hits, including a double, and they
combined for 7 RBI’s. Branden Kaupe had his best night of the year, hitting two
RBI singles to RF, and scoring after reaching on an infield single for his
third hit of the night. While everything was clicking on offense early, the
Cyclones pitching went through some rough patches. Andrew Church was charged
with 6 runs on 12 hits and 2 walks, and he’d work only one perfect inning. Brandon
Welch, Craig Missigman, and Alex Palsha all kept Aberdeen off the scoreboard,
but the game would get weird when Ruben Reyes entered in the 8th –
see below for those details, scoring highlights and details, and a few defense
highlights.
This
series wraps up Sunday evening at 5:35 PM, with Edioglis Villasmil (0-1, 1.93
ERA) scheduled to start for the Cyclones.
