New Muckdog Kyle Conley had two homeruns, supplying three of Batavia’s (22-25) four runs, but Brooklyn (30-17) plated six to get the win.
The Cyclones jumped on board first in the 1st inning but the Muckdogs answered right back in the 2nd and 3rd, scoring once in each inning. Conley had a solo shot in the 2nd. Then in the 3rd, Ryan Jackson walked and came home on a Matthew Adams double.
But a one-run 4th, three-run 5th and one more run in the 9th for Brooklyn put the game away. Batavia scored their other two runs in the 8th after Adams singled and Conley followed with his second homerun of the night.
Chris Corrigan went four innings in the start, giving up two runs on four hits with two walks and one strikeout. Andres Rosales (2-2, 8.25) got the loss, facing just six batters with three runs, two hits and two walks. Justin Smith had a good outing; he pitched the 6th, 7th and 8th with two walks and six strikeouts. Josh Squatrito finished out the game, pitching the 9th with one run on two hits with one walk and two strikeouts.
With his two homeruns, Conley finished 2-for-4 with three RBI. He is batting .500 with three homeruns and two doubles in three games as a Muckdog. Adams was also 2-for4 with a double and a RBI and Alan Ahmady went 3-for-5 with a double of his own.
