NILES, Ohio - The Mahoning Valley Scrappers entered their game with the Brooklyn Cyclones on Monday night with the 2nd best offense in the NYPL.

Unfortunately it was a case of good pitching beating good hitting as the Scrappers lost 5-1. The Cyclones entered the game with the 2nd best pitching staff in the NYPL.

Luis Morel started for the Scrappers and took the loss to drop his record to 2-2. Morel went 4.1 innings allowing 4 hits and 4 runs, only 3 earned. He walked 3 while also striking out 3. The Cyclones got all the offense they needed in the 3rd inning when Jayce Boyd singed home Eudy Pina and Brandon Nimmo with 2 outs.

Rainy Lara dominated on the mound for the Cyclones. He went 7 innings scattering 3 hits and allowing only the 1 run. He did not walk anyone and struck out 10.

The Scrappers managed to grab a 1st inning lead when Tyler Naquin doubled and Charlie Valerio singled him home. Those were the only Scrappers with hits on the night.

The Scrappers will now hit the road for a 6 game road trip starting in Vermont on Wednesday night. First pitch is at 7:05.
