Here are the Brooklyn Cyclone Game Notes for today's game.
LAST TIME OUT: Brooklyn was swept by Bowling Green in Saturday's doubleheader, both times in walk-off fashion...The Hot Rods took Game 1, 7-6, in 10 innings, and won Game 2, 6-5, in seven...The Cyclones erased a three-run deficit in the lid-lifter on a RF John Bay home run in the 6th and a two-run shot by C Vincent Perozo to tie it in the 7th...Both teams traded runs in the 8th and 9th before 1B Tony Santa Maria provided the walk-off RBI single for Bowling Green in the 10th...In the nightcap, Brooklyn came from four runs down to tie the score...C Ronald Hernandez powered a two-run home run in the 6th and 1B Trace Willhoite cracked a game-tying two-run blast in the 7th...3B Ricardo González provided the Hot Rods their second walk-off win in as many games with a solo home run to lead off the home 7th...The home run was his first since the 2024 season...Bay went 3-for-5 in the lid-lifter with two runs scored and two RBI...Perozo also tallied three hits and brought in three...CF Sam Biller went 3-for-3 in the finale...Saturday's pair of walk-off defeats marked the second time this season Brooklyn has lost back-to-back games in that fashion...It last happened on April 21 and 22 at Hudson Valley.
SOUTHERN SWING: Brooklyn's offense has thrived on the long-ball this week in Bowling Green...Over the first five games of the series, the Cyclones offense has accumulated 10 home runs, including at least one in each contest...The stretch marks the first time Brooklyn has homered in five-straight games since April 12-16, 2024, vs. Asheville and at Jersey Shore...The Cyclones, however, only accumulated seven home runs in those five games...Brooklyn has also hit 10 of their 23 home runs (43.48%) this season during the last week at Bowling Green Ballpark.
DOUBLE TROUBLE: Despite a pair of valiant comebacks, the Cyclones were swept in Saturday's doubleheader at Bowling Green...Brooklyn played their first twinbill of the season on April 26, splitting the two games at Hudson Valley...The Cyclones are now 0-1-1 in twinbills this year with a 1-3 overall mark...During their championship season in 2025, Brooklyn played five doubleheaders, going 1-1-3 while holding a 5-5 overall record...Despite the 5-5 record, the Cyclones outscored their opponents 42-32 over the 10 games...Brooklyn and Hudson Valley will play another doubleheader on Thursday, May 21, on Coney Island to make up for a rainout on Sunday, April 5.
MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME: 1B Trace Willhoite hit his first home run of the season during a homecoming of sorts on Friday in Bowling Green and added a game-tying two-run home run in the 7th inning in Game 2 on Saturday...He is 3-for-14 in the series with two home runs and three runs batted in...The 25-year-old calls Georgetown, Ky., home and attended Scott County High School in Georgetown...Willhoite's high school is located approximately 159 miles and a two-and-a-half-hour drive northeast of Bowling Green...Additionally, the Kentucky native attended Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tenn...Willhoite's alma mater is roughly 73 miles and an 80-minute drive southwest of Bowling Green Ballpark...The second-year pro is expected to have friends and family from both his hometown and university at the ballpark throughout the week.
