Peterson hopes to give slumping Cyclones a lift
Recently Signed Southpaw First-Rounder Arrives in Brooklyn Saturday
It was three short summers ago when the Brooklyn Cyclones found a July savior in first-round pick Michael Conforto.
The team, which had wallowed in the McNamara Division cellar during the early part of that season and was on a season-high eight-game losing streak, caught fire as soon as the then-21-year-old outfielder strolled through the clubhouse door on July 19, 2014.
Brooklyn tore its way through the rest of the summer, finishing in a deadlock for the New York-Penn League’s wild-card spot, only to lose out via a head-to-head tiebreaker.
