‘Tide Turning’ for resurgent Cyclones
Brooklyn Sweeps Williamsport Following Ugly Eight-Game Slide
First-year Cyclones manager Tom Gamboa admitted that his team’s confidence was at an all-time low following its season-high eight-game losing streak, which culminated in last Friday night’s ugly 12-7, 15-inning home defeat to Jamestown.
Having committed five errors in back-to-back contests, and winless since a 4-0 victory at State College on July 9, the Baby Bums were desperate to get off the schneid and remember what it felt like to walk off the field as victors.
Brooklyn’s staff ace Octavio Acosta stopped the bleeding Saturday night in front of 7,174 fans at MCU Park, striking out seven over eight brilliant frames as the Cyclones opened what would turn into a three-game sweep of visiting Williamsport with an 8-4 victory.
