Gant pitches Cyclones into first place
All-Star right-hander's gem gives Brooklyn top spot in McNamara
Though he was selected, John Gant didn’t get a chance to make an appearance in the New York-Penn League All-Star Game earlier this month.
The 21-year-old right-hander, however, shined brightest on the biggest stage when the Brooklyn Cyclones need him most Wednesday night at MCU Park.
Gant tossed just the fourth complete game in Cyclones history, spinning a one-hitter in a 1-0 victory over Tri-City that thrust Brooklyn into sole possession of first place for the first time this season before a crowd of 4,820 on Coney Island.
