Brooklyn, NY - The Cyclones hit three home runs in Game One of today's doubleheader to power past Hudson Valley by the score of 5-4 on Sunday afternoon. RHP Junior Santos (1-4) got the win after tossing 5.0 frames, allowing a pair of runs on four hits while walking two and striking out four.

The Cyclones took an early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first when Shervyen Newton connected on his first home run with Brooklyn - a solo blast over the left-field wall - to give Brooklyn an early advantage.

An inning later, it was Jose Peroza's turn to hit his first home run of the season, a majestic fly ball off the left-field scoreboard that gave the Cyclones a 2-0 advantage. In the third, Jose Mena cranked a long fly ball that hit off the very top of the left-field wall to score a pair with a very well-struck single that made it 4-0.

In the fourth it was Jaylen Palmer's turn to get in on the power party with his second home run of the season - also a solo shot - that made it 5-0 Cyclones after four innings of play.

But in the fifth, Cyclones starter Junior Santos ran into some trouble, allowing a two-RBI double to Pat DeMarco, trimming the Cyclones advantage to 5-2. An inning later, with Justin Courtney on the mound for Brooklyn the Renegades plated two more runs to cut the Brooklyn lead to a skinny run before Grant Hartwig, making his Cyclones debut recorded the last four outs of the game to collect the save and close out Brooklyn's 5-4 win.

Game two of today's double-dip will begin at approximately 3:20 PM.
