Cyclones: Then & Now
The 2001 Cyclones won the New York–Penn League Championship under the leadership of manager Edgar Alfonzo. Now that Fonzie is back, many fans are assuming that the 2007 Cyclones will repeat the franchise’s former glory. Here’s how this year’s team compares to that fabled squad:
2001
Record (Through 56 games): 41-15 (.732)
Highlight of the week: The Cyclones beat Vermont 6–1 on Aug. 10 thanks to John TOner’s two-run single and Forrest Lawson’s RBI. Starter Lenny DiNardo an unearned run and struck out six over seven innings — retiring 13 in a row.
2007
Record (Through 56 games): 38-18 (.678)
Highlight of the week: The Clones beat their nefarious rivals, the Staten Island Yankees, 1–0 on Aug. 20, thanks to a J.R. Voyles RBI single in the first, and six innings of three-hit, shutout pitching from starter Dylan Owen (7–1).
