New York-Penn League Semi-Final Playoff Subway Series, Brooklyn Cyclones at Staten Island Yankees
The Staten Island Yankees beat the Brooklyn Cyclones 5-2 on Saturday night to take a 1-0 lead in the best of three New York - Penn League Semifinal series. Will the Brooklyn Cyclones be able to reverse their fortunes at Richmond County Bank Ballpark at St. George?
Steve's relative Seth Fortenberry singles in the first run in the bottom of the third. After Wilmer Pino was Hit By a Pitch, the bases were loaded. Mitchell Hilligoss hit a bases clearing single to left error. Kyle Larsen hits a home run over the right field fence -- hard to see from my angle if it made the water or not. 6 to 0 at the end of three.
Chicken dance going into the bottom of the fourth.
Fortenberry makes a great catch to preserve Tim Norton's no-hitter.
The Yankees add on another run in the sixth after Wilkins DeLaRosa singles to left fielder Dustin Martin while Christopher Kunda scores.
On a hard hit shot hit by Dustin Martin in the seventh, the Yankees first basemen Kevin Smith recovers just in time to preserve the no-hitter. Tim Norton for the Yankees is pitching great but Daniel Murphy breaks up the no-hitter with a single to right with two outs in the seventh.
An elderly gentleman makes a nice catch of a foul ball behind home plate. As this rate, I am going to be elderly before I catch one as none have come even close to me today.
The SI Yankees sweep the best of three series 9 to 0 with 12 hits and no errors while the Cyclones only have two hits and two errors. Norton gets the win.
Since it was a Sunday (and they must have heard me complain about it), the SI Yankees let fans of all ages including the Tank run the bases.
Good luck to the Yankees in the next round defending their NY-Penn title.
