S.I. Yanks Spoiling Cyclones’ playoff push
Baby Bombers rally past Brooklyn, 5-3, on Thomas' three-run blast
Two steps forward, one step back might not be good enough for the Cyclones if they hope to capture a third straight postseason berth this summer.
With the regular-season slate down to a mere 14 games, Brooklyn can ill-afford to give away late leads or lose to teams that no longer have a realistic chance of qualifying for the postseason.
The Baby Bums did both Wednesday night at Richmond County Bank Ballpark, squandering a two-run lead in an eventual 5-3 loss to the last-place Staten Island Yankees before a crowd of 4,701.
