Diehl delivers as Cyclones beat Tri-City
Twelfth-Inning Triple Gives Brooklyn Dramatic 3-2 Victory
“Saved by the Bell Night” at MCU Park turned into “Please Save Our Bullpen Night” for Tom Gamboa.
Fortunately for the second-year Brooklyn manager, and the 7,876 fans gathered at MCU Park for the special promotional event Wednesday, Jeff Diehl was in position to send everyone home happy and help Gamboa avoid using his lone remaining reliever.
Diehl came through with a game-winning RBI triple in the bottom of the 12th inning as Brooklyn improved to 2-0 in extra-inning games on the young season with a heart-stopping 2-1 triumph over visiting Tri-City on Coney Island.
