Cyclones get it ‘Dunn’ behind first-rounder
Former Boston College Phenom Shines in Brooklyn Debut
As far as professional debuts go, Justin Dunn’s featured a little bit of everything.
The flame-throwing right-hander out of Boston College, whom the Mets selected with their first-round pick in last month’s MLB Draft, spent his July 4 in Batavia, closing out the Brooklyn Cyclones’ 5-1 victory over the Muckdogs in front of 2,176 fans at Dwyer Stadium.
Dunn, who finished off a spectacular junior season at BC by leading the Eagles to a No. 15 finish in the final NCAA rankings, had been around the Brooklyn ball club for over a week trying to get himself ready for Monday’s outing.
