BROOKLYN, NY (April 13, 2025) – The Cyclones closed out their first home stand of the season with an 8-1 victory over the Hudson Valley Renegades on Sunday afternoon. With the win the Cyclones improved to 6-3 on the season. SS Kevin Villavicencio went 3-for-3, while 1B Ronald Hernandez and LF D’Andre Smith each collected three RBI to pace the Brooklyn bats.
The Cyclones bats wasted no time on Sunday afternoon, putting up a crooked number in the bottom of the first. 2B Boston Baro, 3B Jacob Reimer and CF Carson Benge each collected singles to load the bases with one out. After C Chris Suero struck out for out number two, Hernandez worked a bases loaded walk to force home the game’s first run. Smith followed with a bases clearing double into the right field corner that extended the lead to 4-0 and later came home after a stolen base and a throwing error to push the score to 5-0 after one.
With the way the Cyclones pitchers were throwing the ball, that lead would be more than enough. RHPs R.J. Gordon, Dylan Ross, Ben Simon and Anthony Nunez combined to limit the Renegades to just one run – a solo shot from 2B Jose Colmenares – on four hits while striking out ten.
Suero hit a solo shot in the bottom of the sixth – his third home run of the young season – and Hernandez added a two-RBI knock in the bottom of the eighth to round out the Brooklyn scoring.
Three things that did not travel as far as this Chris Suero home run 🍎
