The Williamsport Crosscutters racked up seven runs on 11 hits Tuesday night to defeat the Brooklyn Cyclones 7-2 at MCU Park.
The Cutters made it 1-0 in the first inning, as Peter Lavin doubled to lead it off and later scored on a throwing error by Cyclones starter Randy Fontanez. They added two more runs in the top of the fourth on a two-run single by Kenny Miramontes to increase the lead to 3-0.
Williamsport padded its lead in the top of the fifth, as Aaron Altherr drilled a two-run homer to deep left field to increase the advantage to 5-0. Cody Asche's two-out, two-run double in the seventh then made it a 7-0 game.
Brooklyn finally got on the board in the bottom of the eighth off Colton Murray, using three hits and a Cutters throwing error to plate two runners and trim the deficit to 7-2.
