Bowling Green Hot Rods News Release
Brooklyn, New York - Ronny Simon had two hits for the Bowling Green Hot Rods (13-6) who dropped the fourth game of a six-game series on Friday night to the Brooklyn Cyclones (10-9), 3-1. The series continues Saturday with a 1:00 PM CT first pitch at Maimonides Park in Brooklyn, New York.
The Hot Rods jumped out to a first-inning lead against Cyclones starter Oscar Rojas.

Diego Infante plated the first run of the game with an infield single to short, hitting a chopper over Wilmer Reyes with the infield in, giving BG a 1-0 lead.
The Cyclones brought home two runs in the bottom of the first against Hot Rods starter Mason Montgomery, taking a 2-1 advantage. Brooklyn added a run in the fifth, taking a 3-1 edge and that's all they'd need.
