Brooklyn’s ‘Comeback Kids’
Resurgent Cyclones erase three deficits en route to 4-3 win over Tigers
Mired in the McNamara Division cellar for the better part of June and July, the Brooklyn Cyclones have refused to give up the fight for their third consecutive playoff berth under manager Rich Donnelly.
The Baby Bums displayed that never-say-die moxie again Wednesday night at MCU Park, battling back from behind three times before pulling out a 4-3 victory over the visiting Connecticut Tigers before 7,522 Brooklyn baseball fanatics.
Just hours after workers sand-blasted and power-washed away the racist rhetoric that temporarily sullied the beloved statue of Jackie Robinson and Pee Wee Reese outside the main gates of the Cyclones’ sun-splashed stadium by the sea, Brooklyn players took the field for the first time since the hate-inspired incident.
