Recapish

            The Brooklyn Cyclones were whiffed off the island Friday night, taking a 3-2 loss to the Staten Island Yankees, whose pitchers combined for 17 strikeouts in the win. Brooklyn starter Jose Geraldo turned in a solid five-inning performance, allowing just the one earned run on four hits and finishing with five strikeouts, but the Yanks pitching was better on this night. Four Yanks pitchers combined for the 17-K performance – Trevor Stephan had six, Glenn Otto had four, Greg Weissert had five and issued the only walk, and Eduardo Rivera had two – although none of them went more than three innings.

Recapish

            The Brooklyn Cyclones bats came alive Sunday evening, rallying for ten runs on seventeen hits, but the Valley Cats made more of their eleven hits and walked away with a 13-10 win. After two straight very strong outings for Brooklyn, Jose Geraldo struggled out of the gates Sunday and had to be relieved in the 2^nd inning. There must’ve been something in the air though Sunday, because Geraldo wasn’t the only pitcher who struggled. Combined, eight pitchers came into this game, and only one of them finished with a scoreless outing. Everyone in the Cylcones lineup reached base safely at least twice, except for Jose Medina, who did still have a double in this game.

Recapish

            After dropping the first two games of this series Saturday, the Cyclones were hoping to salvage a win from Hudson Valley Sunday before the All-Star Break came. Unfortunately, while their starter Jose Geraldo gave them six sparkling shutout innings, their offense gave them just one run, and the Renegades finished with two. For a third straight game the Cyclones scored first and lost, but at least this game stayed close until the end. After a string of great outings for Brooklyn to start his NYPL debut, Stephen Villines was the culprit in this one, allowing a two-run homer in the bottom of the 8^th, which put the Hudson Valley ahead 2-1.
