Batavia Muckdogs (4-15)
New York-Penn League (Class-A Short Season)
Tuesday night, the Muckdogs dropped a 5-1 home decision to the 9-10 Brooklyn Cyclones at Dwyer Stadium, in front of 591 die-hard fans.
The Muckdogs scored their lone run early, when Corey Bird bunted safely to lead off the game, advanced to second on a Nabil Crismatt wild pitch, took third on an Eric Gutierrez sacrifice fly, and scored on another Crismatt wild pitch. Unfortunately for the good guys, it was the only run they could muster, totaling just four hits for the game.
The Cyclones got on the board in the fifth inning, on a Hengelbert Rojas RBI-groundout, then scored again in the sixth to take the lead on a Blake Tiberi sacrifice fly. Brooklyn added a run in the eighth on a Jacob Zanon sacrifice fly, then scored two more in the ninth on two more sacrifice flies, by Arnaldo Berrios and Nick Sergakis.

New Orleans Zephyrs (39-44)
Pacific Coast League (Triple-A)

Yohander Mendez (1-0, 0.00) pitched five shutout innings for the win, giving up three walks and three hits while striking out seven. Asher Wojciechowski (2-3, 6.30) was less impressive, allowing seven runs in 2.2 innings on seven hits and two walks. Although he did get 44-of-75 pitches over the plate, he finished with a impressive (for the wrong reasons) GameScore of 1 (one).

I don't think you really want to read too much into the how, so lets just say that the Express tattooed Wojciechowski for seven runs on seven hits, including three home runs. We'll just hope that Asher grows from this experience.
