Cyclones get a taste of playoffs after all
Conforto, Urena, Rosario Added to Savannah Postseason Roster
Two days removed from suffering the heartbreak of falling just shy of earning the New York-Penn League’s Wild Card, a trio of Brooklyn Cyclones got their taste of playoff baseball Wednesday night – in Asheville, N.C., of all places.
Mets’ first-round pick Michael Conforto and All-Star Cyclones infielders Amed Rosario and Jhoah Urena were all promoted to the parent club’s full-season Class A affiliate in Savannah this week.
That made the talented threesome eligible to compete with the defending South Atlantic League champion Sand Gnats in their best-of-3 first-round playoff series with the Asheville Tourists.
