Vermont Lake Monsters News Release


BROOKLYN, NY --- William Fulmer had a two-run single in the second inning and Tyler Moore an RBI double in the third to lead the Brooklyn Cyclones to a 3-2 New York-Penn League victory over the Vermont Lake Monsters on Saturday night at MCU Park.

The Cyclones loaded the bases with two outs in the second inning and Fulmer knocked home two runs with an infield single off Vermont shortstop Yairo Munoz for an early 2-0 lead. Vermont cut the deficit in half in the third on back-to-back leadoff doubles from Brett Veritgan and JP. Sportman, but the Lake Monsters stranded Sportman at third base on a Joe Bennie strikeout and Trent Gilbert flyout.

Moore got the run back for Brooklyn in the bottom of the third with a two-out RBI double off Vermont starter Corey Miller (0-2), who allowed three runs on five hits with two walks and two strikeouts in just 2 2/3 innings. Three Vermont relievers (Blake McMullen, Lee Sosa and Fernand Cruzado) combined to toss 5 1/3 scoreless innings on just one hit with no walks and six strikeouts. The Lake Monsters bullpen ended the game with a streak of 11 2/3 scoreless innings on four hits over the past three games.

Vermont got its second run of the night in the fifth inning when Sportman smacked his second double of the game, stole third base and scored on a Yairo Munoz sacrifice fly. The Lake Monsters best opportunity over the final four innings to tie the game or take the lead came in the seventh when John Nogowski led off with a walk and Vertigan followed with a single, but Sportman bunted into a double play and Munoz grounded out to end the threat.

Cyclones starter Corey Oswalt (4-1) allowed two runs on five hits with one walk and six strikeouts over six innings for the victory, while Shane Bay had two strikeouts in a perfect ninth inning for his seventh save of the season. Moore had three of the six hits in the game for Brooklyn (20-22), while Vertigan and Sportman both had two hits for Vermont (16-26). The Lake Monsters defense did not commit an error for the second straight game and after leading the league in errors for most of the season, Vermont has committed just six total errors in the last 13 games.

After sweeping a two-game series at Lowell and losing two-of-three in the series at Brooklyn, the Lake Monsters continue their season-high eight-game roadtrip with a three-game series at Hudson Valley beginning at 5:05 pm on Sunday. After single games vs. the Renegades Monday and Tuesday at 7:05, Vermont returns home to historic Centennial Field to begin a six-game homestand on Wednesday.
