NORWICH, CT - Frank Valentino allowed just one run over 4.2 innings, but he took the hard-luck loss as the Brooklyn Cyclones, the Short-Season Class A affiliate of the New York Mets, fell 1-0 to the Connecticut Tigers in a five-inning, rain-shortened game at Dodd Stadium on Thursday night.

W: Jimenez (3-1)

L: Valentino (1-4)

SV: Anderson (3)

BIG MOMENTS

As the sixth inning began, a drizzle turned into a downpour in Norwich. After Jake Ortega grounded out to start the frame, the game was halted at 6:33 p.m. Despite the fact that the rain stopped within a half-hour, the field was deemed unplayable, and the game was called.

Connecticut's Jordan Verdon snuck a two-out double down the right-field line to score Nick Quintana from first and give the Tigers a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the fourth.

Joe Genord lined a single into right-center field with two outs in the top of the fourth for Brooklyn's only hit of the night.

This is the third loss the Cyclones have suffered in a game shortened by the weather. On July 5, Brooklyn lost to Aberdeen in five innings at MCU Park in a game called because of fog. 18 days later, Brooklyn lost a rain-shortened, 5-inning game at home to Tri-City.

Brooklyn skipper Edgardo Alfonzo remains one win away from 100 career wins with the Cyclones.

The Brooklyn bats produced a season-low one hit.
