L.J. “Mini-Maz” Mazzilli hit a two-run homer in the first inning and Rob “Not-so-silent G” Gsellman struck out 13 Lake Monsters in eight innings to earn the shut-out victory.
In the first inning, Gavin Cecchini singled to left before Mazzilli hit his second dinger of the season over the right field wall for the only runs of the game.
Gsellman took over from there, allowing just two hits and one walk, the first coming in the opening inning and the other in the fifth.
The Clones moved to 33—31 on the year, while Aberdeen beat Connecticut, keeping the Cyclones a half game back for the division lead.
Brooklyn will look to sweep Vermont today when the two teams meet at 5:05 pm.
