Cyclones Pitching Staff Twirling Through Early Season

July 8, 2009   ·   Patrick Hickey, Jr.   ·   Jump to comments

Aside from two horrible starts by Angel Cuan, the Brooklyn Cyclones pitching staff has been perfect, as Mark Cohoon, Brandon Moore, Collin McHugh and James Fuller are a combined 12-0.

Giving up five earned runs in his last start on July 6, McHugh ran into his first stumbling block of the season, but was saved by his offense and managed to stay undefeated.

The combination of Cohoon and Moore have given up only 39 hits and a paltry seven walks in 47 innings.

Fuller has also been extremely solid, walking only two hitters in 19 innings and hasn’t given up an earned run yet this season.

While the trademark of the Cyclones over the past eight plus seasons has always been it’s pitching staff, it’s doubtful anyone could have possibly predicted this team would be this good on the mound this season.

If things continue to fall this way, the ‘Clones may be able to bring home their first sole NY-Penn League Championship.

Editors Note- My apologies on the lack of updates through the first three weeks of the season. I’ve been battling a wicked bout of the flu and that combined with a hectic work schedule have forced me to play catch up.

Starting next week, I’ll start updating with more regularity.
