BROOKLYN, N.Y. - In the first game of the second half of the South Atlantic League season, the Brooklyn Cyclones powered past the Hudson Valley Renegades 6-1 on Friday night at Maimonides Park.

Brooklyn opened the scoring in the first after Renegades starter Zach Messinger walked the bases loaded to begin the frame. William Lugo then chopped a ball to third to Marcos Cabrera who stepped on the bag and threw to first for a double play, but Alex Ramirez scored to hand the Cyclones a 1-0 lead.

The Cyclones tallied three more in the third off Messinger (0-5) after clubbing three solo home runs. Kevin Parada, Jaylen Palmer, and Lugo all homered to left field to extend Brooklyn's lead to 4-0. Messinger threw just three innings in his outing and walked a season-high five while also striking out five.

Hudson Valley plated their lone run off Blade Tidwell (4-3) in the fifth. After Tidwell walked Grant Richardson and Cabrera, Luis Santos hit a bloop single to left field that scored Richardson and cut the deficit to 4-1.

Parada struck again with a home run in the sixth inning off Carlos Gómez. After Gómez struck out the first two batters, Ramirez singled and stole second. Parada swatted a ball deep to left-center field that Spencer Jones and Aldenis Sánchez both went after and caromed off the wall away from both players. Parada raced around and scored for an inside-the-park home run, and Brooklyn opened up a 6-1 lead.
