Cyclones 6
Muckdogs 4
Wednesday, Aug. 5, at Batavia
The Cyclones locked up a series win with their second-straight win in Batavia, locked up with a ninth-inning double by clutch hitter Sam Honeck.
Starting pitcher Darrin Gorski pitched six effective innings, and left with a 4–2 lead, but the usually unhittable Brandon Sage gave up two in the eighth.
The Cyclones had gotten on the board first, on an RBI single by hot-hitting Luis Rivera, who’s 6-for-14 with four RBIs over his last four games.
The Cyclones added another run in the fourth on an Alex Gregory SAC fly.
Three more runs scored in the fifth after a Justin Garber single, a Honeck single, a Rivera SAC fly, an error and a Gregory SAC fly.
Those runs proved to be vital when Sage, who is nasty against lefties, gave up a two-run dinger to righty Kyle Conley in the eighth.
The win kept the Cyclone lead over the hated Staten Island Yankees at four games.
