Asheville, NC (August 21, 2026) – HomeTruist Park has a reputation for being a launching pad for baseballs, and on Friday evening it certainly lived up to expectations as Brooklyn defeated the Asheville Tourists by the score of 16-12. The 16 runs and 20 hits both marked season highs for the Cyclones, and the two teams combined for a whopping 28 runs on 34 hits – including nine doubles, and five home runs.
Seven different Cyclones had multi-hit games, including Aidan Smith, John Smith III, Chase Meggers and Yonatan Henriquez who all had three hits apiece. Henriquez also had a pair of home runs and drove in five on the night. Trey Snyder added a three RBI night.

Connor Ware made his Cyclones debut on Friday night, tossing 2.2 innings of relief. The southpaw allowed two runs on three hits while walking six and striking out three.
Aidan Smith clubbed his 15th home run of the season and his fifth in 14 games since joining the Cyclones after being acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays as part of a package in exchange for Freddy Peralta.
Yonatan Henriquez became the second Cyclone this season to club a pair of home runs in a single game, joining John Spikerman, who did so on Tuesday in Asheville.
