BROOKLYN, N.Y. (May 27, 2023) - The Cyclones pounced all over Winston-Salem pitching on Saturday night at Maimonides Park en route to a 7-2 win at Maimonides Park.

One batter later, DH Kevin Parada reached on a throwing error by SS Taishi Nakawake, allowing two runs to come home to score. Parada advanced 90 feet to take second base on a second consecutive error on the same play - a throwing error by 1B Shawn Goosenberg.

Winston-Salem’s fielding miscues continued into the third. In the inning, both RF Omar De Los Santos and 1B Chase Estep came home to score on another Nakawake fielding error that allowed 3B Mateo Gil to reach safely. All told, the Dash finished the game with five errors in the field.

Winston-Salem broke up the shutout and tacked on two runs in the seventh and eighth courtesy of RBI doubles from Goosenberg and 2B Loidel Chapellí, respectively.
