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

            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.
