Cyclones 6
Ironbirds 3
Sunday, June 26 at Aberdeen
The Cyclones ended their losing streak at two games — and vaulted back into first place — with a convincing 13-hit win over the pesky Ironbirds.
The first six hitters in the Cyclone lineup all had hits, including a first-inning two-run blast by Cory Vaughn and a sixth-inning solo shot by William Cherry.
Fan favorite Darrell Ceciliani raised his team-leading average to .375 with two hits, including an eighth-inning triple — his third of the year — that led to a key insurance run.
Starter Mitchell Houck struck out eight in seven innings to get his second win.
The Cyclones return home tonight against the Hudson Valley Renegades. Game time is 7 pm at MCU Park [1904 Surf Ave. at W. 19th Street in Coney Island, (718) 449-8497]. For info, visit www.brooklyncyclones.com.
