Cyclones’ playoff hopes fading fast
Brooklyn Dead Last in McNamara Following Epic Skid
It’s becoming more and more evident that the Brooklyn Cyclones must finish the season as furiously as they began it to have a chance to win the McNamara Division, and avert a third consecutive non-playoff campaign on Coney Island.
Brooklyn suffered its season-high sixth straight loss and had dropped a franchise-record seven in a row at MCU Park entering the New York-Penn League’s two-day (Monday and Tuesday) All-Star break.
While right-hander starter Gaby Almonte, closer Alex Palsha and second baseman Vinny Siena ventured off to Aberdeen for the circuit’s annual late-summer classic, the rest of second-year manager Tom Gamboa’s team was left to lick its wounds following the struggling team’s latest loss.
