Recap

            The Cyclones salvaged a win from their 3-game series with Staten Island Friday night behind some strong pitching and a Jeff Diehl blast. Mets 3B prospect David Thompson would reach and score in both the 2^nd and 4^th innings, and then the newest Brooklyn player Hengelbert Rojas doubled and scored in the 5^th, which gave the Cyclones a 4-0 lead. Kevin Canelon came out firing strikes for the Cyclones, needing just 43 pitches through the first 4 innings, but then the Yankees started smacking him around in the 5^th, and he had to be removed one out shy of qualifying for the win. Criag Missigman came into the 4-3 game with 2 runners on base, but induced a groundout from Jhalan Jackson to escape the jam. Missigman would work another scoreless frame in the 6^th, and then Corey Taylor, P.J. Conlon, and Alex Palsha combined to keep Staten Island scoreless over the final 3 frames.

            Looking ahead, the Cyclones head home to face Vermont Saturday evening at 6:00 PM, with Tyler Badamo scheduled to pitch in the opener for Brooklyn.

            The pitching tandem of Valdez and Gaither Bumgardner both struggled against Staten Island on Saturday night, putting the Cyclones in a hole that was too big to get out of.

Recap in gifs:

            Casey Meisner made his second start of the season for Brooklyn Friday night, and he had an inconsistent night, but ending up tying a pro-career best with seven strikeouts on the night. The 6’ 7” right-hander was the Mets 3^rd round pick in 2013 out of Cypress Woods High School in Texas, had a pretty successful pro debut in the GCL last year – 10 G (4 GS), 35.1 IP, 31 H, 17 R (12 ER), 18 K: 10 BB, 3.06 ERA – and is only 19 years old. However, the star of the night was definitely Brooklyn RF Michael Bernal, who had three extra base hits, three rib eye steaks and scored twice. It was an exciting back-and-forth game, and the good guys came out on top with some key hits in the 8^th and 9^th innings.
