Brooklyn, NY (August 5, 2022) – Runs were at a premium on Friday night at Maimonides Park as three Cyclones pitchers combined to shutout the Winston-Salem Dash by the score of 2-0. Keyshawn Askew made his Cyclones debut tossing 4.1 shutout frames, allowing three hits and striking out six. Offensively, Jose Peroza reached base three times and had an RBI to pace the Brooklyn bats.

Brooklyn’s offense came early on, as the ‘Clones jumped on top in the bottom of the second inning. Stanley Consuegra jump-started the rally with a one-out triple into the right-center field gap and Jose Peroza followed with a double into left-center field to score the game’s first run.

In the bottom of the third the lead would grow to 2-0. Three walks loaded the bases with one out for Nic Gaddis, who hit a ground ball to shortstop for a fielder’s choice but Gaddis was able to beat out the relay throw on an attempted double play to allow a run to score and extend Brooklyn’s lead.

That would be all the offense as David Griffin (2-0), who returned to Brooklyn from Binghamton earlier in the day, picked up where Askew left off – including wiggling out of a bases loaded one-out jam when he took over for the southpaw in the fifth – and tossed 3.2 shutout frames out of the bullpen to collect the win.

Dylan Hall tossed a scoreless ninth to close out the win and collect his third save with the Cyclones.

Winston-Salem and Brooklyn will square off in Game Five of six on Saturday evening at 6:00 PM. RHP Junior Santos will make the start for Brooklyn. It will be the annual Seinfeld Night Celebration as the Cyclones pay tribute to the show about nothing. Gates will open at 4:30 PM and tickets start at just $15.
