Almonte, Palsha shine in All-Star roles
Cyclones Hurlers Combine for Two Scoreless Frames in 4-2 Loss
Gaby Almonte didn’t get to start and Alex Palsha wasn’t permitted the opportunity to finish.
But both Brooklyn Cyclones hurlers tossed a perfect inning Tuesday night for the South squad during a 4-2 loss to the North in the New York-Penn League All-Star Game in front of a crowd of 3,622 at Aberdeen’s Ripken Stadium.
Almonte, who has been Brooklyn’s staff ace throughout the summer with a 6-4 record and 3.41 ERA in 11 outings, pitched a perfect second inning, inducing three consecutive groundouts after Williamsport’s Mitch Gueller (7-1, 1.84) was knocked around for three runs in the opening frame.
