Cyclones show they’re tough enough
Fans coming to Coney Island are seeing a rejuvenated Cyclones team that is competing for first place in the South Atlantic League’s North Division. With recent wins against the Hudson Valley Renegades and the Aberdeen Iron Birds, the Cyclones have started off the second half in a four-way tie for first.
Some of the players responsible for the team’s resurgence are a group of “grinders” who have performed on a daily basis but have also recently played above their heads.
Joe Suozzi continues to inspire the team on and off the field with his “Charlie Hustle” routine. Besides getting late-inning hits to put the team ahead, he showed his hidden baserunning talents in Hudson Valley when he scored from first on an errant pickoff attempt for the Cyclones’ only run of the game.
