In a game that was chocked full of emotions the Brooklyn Cyclones (4-5) were able to capture the Home Finale against the Asheville Tourists (4-5) by a final of 4-3 on Sunday afternoon.
Leading the way with the bats is 3B Nick Lorusso, as he had a two-homer day, including one in the bottom of the ninth to help the team walk-off victors.
After dealing with a slight weather delay in Coney Island the Cyclones and Tourists went on to play nine beautiful innings of baseball, and one that featured for the most part a tightly played ball game.
Some of the other bats that impressed in the game on Sunday is that of DH Nolan McLean as he blasted a homer in the Sixth Inning. 2B Kevin Villavicencio showed an impressive eye with his two hits and Omar De Los Santos and Ryan Clifford all recorded hits in the game.
