Recapish

            The Brooklyn Cyclones dropped their rubber-match with West Virginia Thursday night in Granville, taking an 8-3 loss to fall 19 games below .500. Brooklyn actually outscored the Black Bears 3-2 if you only count earned runs, but the Cyclones pitchers couldn’t make up for a myriad mistakes behind them. The Bk bats did connect for nine hits, including four doubles, but they went just 1-6 with runners in scoring position and drew zero walks.

Recapish

            The Brooklyn Cyclones put on a rare power display to even their series in West Virginia Tuesday, launching three homers en route to a 9-4 win over the Black Bears. The Cyclones came in with nine homeruns hit all season, so hitting three in one day was certainly unexpected. Brooklyn starter Chris Viall was making his first start of the season, so he was limited to just three innings and the Bears bats initially came alive against the Brooklyn pen. Fortunately for Brooklyn, Nicolas Debora came in and shut the door for 3.1 IP to earn a save.

Recapish

            The Brooklyn Cyclones season-long woes continued Tuesday night in West Virginia, as they dropped their opener with the Black Bears 7-3 to fall 19 games below .500.  Cyclones starter Jose Geraldo was making his first NYPL start, and the big righty showed the rawness of a rookie ball pitcher, but the potential of a future bullpen arm. Although his defense let him down some, Geraldo left trailing just 2-1, but then the Bears went to work on Brooklyn’s bullpen and put this game out of reach.
