Oct 7,
2015 -
After an offensive explosion the night before, the Spring
Cyclones decided that games on back-to-back nights were a little
too much for them as the defense played as if they were made of
Swiss cheese. the fact that starting Pitcher Dean Cosme allowed
8 runs but only 1 was earned should be enough to tell the whole
story.

3 runs (1 ER) on 4 hits over 4-2/3 innings. Kristian Bell came
in to relieve Cosme and while he escaped Cosme's trouble in the
5th, he stumbled slightly in the 7th, allowing the Thunder to
get within a run before finally handing the game over to
newcomer Adrian Martin to close it out.

Drillers Nail Cyclones 9-3
Aug 31,
2015 -
There is a sense of optimism that surrounds the Spring Cyclones
this season. Whether is the abundance of arms on the roster or
the extra "bats" that were picked up in the offseason. Either
way, the tea feels good about itself. Unfortunately, the good
feelings were put on hold against the South Houston Drillers on
Sunday.
Manager and
starting pitcher Dean Cosme started the game off auspiciously by
plunking the first batter with the first pitch. Luckily, he
didn't score, but it would be a sign of things to come as Cosme
weaved in and out of trouble for the first 3 innings. In the
4th, it came crashing down as the bloop parade came to town and
before anyone knew it, it was 4-0 Drillers. Cosme would settle
down again, but a few innings later, Cosme's own error lead the
Drillers to plate another 4 runs.
Conversely,
the Driller held the Cyclones scoreless until they switched out
their starting pitcher. The offensive highlight of the day was
provided by Gabe Medina who smacked a 2-run HR over the
left-centerfield fence for the Cyclones.

Cyclones and Colt 45's. After a shaky first inning that saw the
Cyclones plate 2 runs against the Colt 45's, things settled down
and both teams began dealing zeros. In the bottom of the 8th
inning, the Colt 45's, down to their last out and last strike,
scored 3 runs to come from behind and defeat the Spring Cyclones
4-2.
CTL-ALT-DEL: Rebooted Cyclones Club 30+ Panthers
Aug 8,
2015 -
The Fall 2015 Season got off to a successful start for the
rebooted Spring Cyclones. After a tumultuous Spring 2015 season
that saw the Cyclones morph into the Houston Cardinals for 1
season, the Cyclones reformed, regrouped and returned to their
winning ways as they clobbered the 30+ Panthers 16-8 on Friday
night at Mason's Park in SE Houston.
Mgr Dean
Cosme took the mound for the Cyclones and he was vintage. Cosme
hurled 6 innings allowed 3 runs (0 earned) on 4 hits and 1 walk,
while striking out 2. It was sweet redemption for Cosme as he
struggled mightily in the Spring for a variety of reasons but
was determined to get off to a fast start for the Cyclones.
Offensively, the Cyclones were lead by veterans Andy Perez (3-3,
1 2B, 1 BB, 3 R, 1 RBI), Mark "Stickers" MacDowell (3-4, 3 R, 1
K), newcomer Steve Herce (3-3, 2 2B, 2 R, 2 RBI) and the return
of Kory Winters (2-4, 1 2B, 1 HR, 2 R, 2 RBI). The rest of the
offense was also productive with everyone driving in at least 1
run or scoring at least 1 run.
