Trent Johnson allowed fours hits and no runs in four innings of relief of David Peterson, who threw a perfect first inning as the Cyclones shut out the Spinners in a rain-shortened game that lasted just five innings.

The Clones lone run came in the fourth when Dylan Snypes hit a single before Guillermo Granadillo singled to advance Snypes to third. Snypes then scored on a passed ball from Spinners reliever Taylor Ahearn to make it 1–0.

The game was called after the top of the sixth inning because of the rainy conditions, sealing the Cyclones fifth-straight win.

This has been the best stretch of the season for Brooklyn’s Boys of Summer, having won eight of their last nine. Numbers like that make it easier to swallow the 23–48 record.

The Cyclones hope to keep it going when they visit Connecticut to play the Tigers today at 4:05 pm.
