The Cyclones answered back in the bottom of the fourth when Nick Lorusso walked to lead off the inning. A single by Junior Tilien put Lorusso at third, who scored on a sacrifice fly by William Lugo to tie the score at 1-1
With one out in the eighth, Jesus Rodriguez singled and stole second base against Josh Hejka. Rafael Flores then ripped an RBI double to left, driving in Rodriguez to put Hudson Valley in front 2-1.
