Cyclones 4
Yankees 2
June 17 on Staten Island
Cyclones hurler Yeudy Colon held the Yankees to just two runs and a late-game rally helped the Cyclones best the Yankees.
The Cyclones scored early in the game when Dionis Paulino singled to left field in the first and drove in David Miranda, who had been walked and homered, to make it 2–0.
The Yankees responded in the fourth when Canaan Smith drove in Ricardo Ferreira with a single to right field, and tied it in the fifth on a Jesus Bastida ground out that scored Frederick Cuevas.
The Clones got back on top late in the eighth when third baseman David Thompson doubled to center and was driven in when Wagner Lagrange singled to make it 3–2. The Clones tacked on a run in the ninth on a bases-loaded walk.
Colon gets the win for the Cyclones after taking the mound in the bottom of the seventh and keeping the Evil Empire at bay.
The series win was the first for the Clones against the Yanks since 2014.
The squads faced off before a crowd of 2,199 in Staten Island, significantly less spectators than the previous two nights.
The Cyclones take on the Hudson Valley Renegades tonight at 7 pm in Brooklyn.
