Cyclones 5
Spinners 8
Monday, Aug. 31 at Lowell
This season is turning Met like, as the Cyclones dropped yet another game as the surging Staten Island Yankees won their ninth in a row to move to one-half game back.
This one was over before it started, with the Spinners jumping all over starter Darin Gorski, who gave up seven runs (five earned) in three complete innings.
The Cyclones did make it interesting, putting up a five spot in the eighth, but it was too little, too late.
From here on out, the Cyclones have four more games against the Spinners, who are in first place in their division, and two against the mediocre Hudson Valley Renegades.
