First place Cyclones fall after 15 innings in Jamestown, a record

The Brooklyn Paper

In the longest game in Brooklyn Cyclones history, the Jamestown Jammers’ J.T. Restko knocked an RBI single in the bottom of the 15th inning to defeat the first place Clones in heartbreaking fashion 5-4, Thursday night in Jamestown.

In the top of the 13th, with the score knotted at two, the Brooks plated a pair when Ambiorix Concepcion’s grounded resulted in two Jamestown errors and two Brooklyn runs.

But Jamestown (15-29) came back to knot the score in the bottom of the inning on two separate wild pitches by Clones reliever Jose Rodriguez.

The score remained tied until the 15th, when, with runners on second and third and two outs, Restko singled up the middle, tagging the loss on reliever Edgar Alfonzo (3-1).

Cyclones starter Mike Swindell through six innings of six-hit ball, striking out five and giving up two runs, one earned.

Trailing 2-0 in the seventh, the Clones scored a run on a double by Dante Brinkley followed by ground outs by Tyler Davidson and Concepcion.

The Brooks tied the score in the eighth on an RBI single by Derran Watts.

Previously, the longest Cyclones game ran 14 innings.
