Cyclones Use Late-Game Magic to Beat Bisons
Despite a great performance by Buffalo designated hitter Paul O'Neill, the Brooklyn Cyclones defeated the Bisons by the score of 5-4 at Ballpark of Fremont. O'Neill went 2 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Brooklyn reliever Darren Dreifort picked up the win, upping his record to 4-0. Ryan Bradley absorbed the loss. Jim Mecir earned his 16th save in 18 chances.

Had Angelo Encarnacion not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Encarnacion hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Cyclones.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Encarnacion told the Brooklyn Chronicle.

The 5th-place Cyclones raised their record to 35-50.
