Rare bullpen failure costs Cyclones
Brooklyn Relievers Falter in 5-3 Loss at West Virginia
A three-run lead heading into the bottom of the sixth inning is normally a recipe for an easy Cyclones victory.
Especially when considering that Brooklyn has had the stingiest bullpen in the New York-Penn League this summer, yielding just six earned runs over 61 innings through the first three weeks of July.
But it was an epic bullpen collapse that cost the Baby Bums dearly in a 5-3 loss at West Virginia on Tuesday night in front of 1,958 fans at Monongalia County Ballpark.
