Wappingers Falls, NY - The Cyclones won their first series in Hudson Valley since July of 2019 thanks to a 7-0 win over the Renegades on Sunday afternoon. With the win, the Cyclones took four of six games from the 'Gades and improved to 18-12 in the second half while extending their division lead to 1.5 games. Alex Ramirez was the offensive story for Brooklyn as the 19-year-old went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI.

After matching zeroes through the first three innings Alex Ramirez got things started in the top of the fourth with a solo home run off the batter's eye in center field to give Brooklyn a 1-0 lead. In the sixth Ramirez connected on his second home run of the game - this one a two-run shot - to extend the Cyclones lead to 3-0.

The lead would swell in the top of the seventh, again courtesy of the long ball, as Jose Mena and Joe Suozzi hit back-to-back solo home runs to make it 5-0. Jaylen Palmer tacked on a two-RBI double in the top of the eighth to round out the scoring and give the 'Clones a 7-0 lead.

Junior Santos, who lasted just 0.2 innings in his start against Hudson Valley earlier this week, tossed 5.0 shutout frames on Sunday afternoon, scattering just three hits and two walks while striking out seven to get the win for Brooklyn. Daison Acosta added 2.0 flawless innings of relief before Brendan Hardy and Dylan Hall combined for the final 2.0 innings of the game.

The Cyclones will return to Coney Island on Tuesday to open a six-game series with the Winston-Salem Dash (Chicago White Sox) starting at 7:00 PM.
