It was one heck of a baseball game at Maimonides Park, as the Brooklyn Cyclones walked-off against the Aberdeen IronBirds by a final of 4-3 in 10 Innings of play.
This is the third walk-off victory for the Cyclones, who are starting to get into a bit of a groove when it comes time to playing in front of their home crowd.
The hero of the night is Omar De Los Santos, as he blasted the game-winning hit that sent the fans in Coney Island home happy.
Tons of storylines came out of this one that includes the Cyclones pitching and defense. One of the biggest moments came when reliever Daniel Juarez got out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the 10th Inning.
