Cyclones flip flop with Iron Birds for first as Aberdeen closes in on a playoff spot
BY JIM DOLAN
After an uncharacteristic display of offensive power (24-7 runs) on the road, the Cyclones completed a three-game sweep of the Lake Monsters in Vermont to advance within one and a half games behind the first place Aberdeen Iron Birds in the McNamara Division.
With the season entering its final week, once again the pitching propelled the Cyclones to reach their season-long quest for first place on the back of one of their All Star pitchers, John Gant, with a one-hit complete game 1-0 win over the Tri-City Valley Cats.
