Cyclones finally have something to celebrate
Brooklyn Puts Together Three-Game Win Streak After Epic Slide
At approximately 8:23 p.m. EDT on Saturday night, the Brooklyn Cyclones finally ended the longest losing streak in the modern history of the New York-Penn League.
The league-worst Baby Bums, who had dropped 14 consecutive games, the longest NY-Penn skid on record since 2005, finally could breathe a sigh of relief when Jeremy Vazquez came scampering home on Scott Manea’s walk-off sacrifice fly to right field, resulting in a 3-2 Brooklyn victory over arch rival Staten Island.
The crowd of 6,875 that had sat through the brisk two-hour, 20-minute affair rose as one to salute a club that has endured the worst summer in the history of the Mets’ Class A short-season franchise by the sea.
