All-Stars drive Cyclones past Tri-City
Alonso, Woodmansee Plate Six as Brooklyn Breaks Out of Slump
Like an early evening thunder shower that breaks the oppressive humidity, albeit temporarily, the Brooklyn Cyclones’ previously anemic offense finally rained down on an opponent Monday night at Tri-City.
Recently named New York-Penn League All-Stars Peter Alonso and Colby Woodmansee combined for seven hits and six RBIs as the Baby Bums put up a season-high run total en route to a 14-3 demolition of the ValleyCats in front of 4,536 fans at Joseph L. Bruno Stadium.
Having lost four straight games, including an 18-4 trouncing at the hands of Tri-City on Sunday, the Cyclones, owners of the second-lowest team batting average on the 14-team circuit at .213, finally broke out the lumber.
