Tri-City 4
Cyclones 3
August 28 in Troy, New York
The Cyclones lost but remained hanging onto their wildcard playoff slot by a thread as they tied the franchise-high of six errors in a game and reached a new record in the process, 111 errors in a single season, on Thursday night.
Brooklyn got an early lead in the first thanks to a single from Jhoan Urena that knocked in Adrien Abreu but the lead was short-lived as the Valleycats tied it up in the bottom of the inning. Tucker Tharp and Anthony Chavez hit back-to-back singles in the second inning and both made it home as a result of a ground-out by Abreu and a double by Amed Rosario, making it a 3–1 game.
A Cyclones error in the bottom of the fifth helped the Valleycats tie up the game at three, where the score stayed until the bottom of the ninth when a throwing error, a wild pitch, and a dropped pop-up allowed the winning Valleycat run to cross the plate.
The Connecticut Tigers are nipping at the Clones’ heels in the wildcard rankings at two games back with three left to play.
The Cyclones and Valleycats face off for the second game of a three-game series tonight.
