Cyclones continue to get ‘extra’ work in
Suffer Fourth Grueling Loss of Season, 9-8, to Spikes in 11 Frames
There has been nothing even remotely short about the Cyclones’ Class A Short-Season schedule this summer.
With Wednesday night’s heartbreaking, 9-8, 11-inning loss at State College, Brooklyn has gone into extra frames in five of its first 13 contests, logging an unfathomable 136 2/3 innings in the first two weeks of its Sweet 16 season on Coney Island.
That’s 8 2/3 more innings than the Cyclones’ nearest competitor in that department, McNamara Division-leading Staten Island (11-2), and nearly 30 more frames than Mahoning Valley, which has logged a New York-Penn League-low 107 innings in its first 13 contests.
