Cyclones will lament the ones that got away
Latest Excruciating One-Run Loss Puts Brooklyn on Brink of Elimination
The Brooklyn Cyclones have spent virtually this entire summer being a bloop and a blast away from earning their first playoff berth in four summers on Coney Island.
That point was painfully driven home yet again Monday night as the Baby Bums dropped a 4-3 decision to the visiting Auburn Doubledays in front of an announced crowd of 5,210 fans at MCU Park.
Hoping to forge a ninth-inning tie, the Cyclones (34-35) got their leadoff runner on when Anthony Dimino, doing a solid job of filling in for injured All-Star first baseman Peter Alonso, stroked a sharp single into center field.
