Struggling Cyclones break out lumber in Tri-City
Score Seven Times in First Two Frames En Route to 10-1 Win
Like an evening thunder shower that breaks a stifling humidity, the Brooklyn Cyclones’ bats finally awoke from their early season slumber Wednesday night and rained down hard on the Tri-City ValleyCats.
Jose Miguel Medina and Ricardo Cespedes each had three RBIs as the previously dormant Brooklyn offense put up seven runs over the first two innings en route to an easy 10-1 victory over Tri-City before a crowd of 4,834 at Joseph L. Bruno Stadium in Troy, N.Y.
Medina ripped a two-out single and Cespedes chased him home with a base hit soon afterward to highlight a five-run, first-inning outburst for Brooklyn, which collected a season-high 17 hits, including six in the opening frame, and put up its first double-digit run total of the campaign.
