Centenary Wins Game 2 and Splits Series With Utica

The Centenary Cyclones pulled off a hard-fought victory on the diamond, defeating their opponents 6-4 in a thrilling 7-inning contest. After a slow start, the Cyclones exploded for four runs in the fourth inning and added two more in the sixth to seal the win.

The game was highlighted by strong performances at the plate and on the mound. Derek DePace was the star of the day, going 2-for-3 with two hits and three RBIs. His clutch hitting played a major role in the Cyclones' offensive surge, driving in key runs that helped push them ahead. Mike DeSena and Vincent DeGrado also contributed with RBIs, with DeSena's bat helping spark the rally in the fourth and DeGrado delivering a timely knock to extend the Cyclones' lead.

Tyler Voltaire was dominant on the mound, tossing three solid innings and allowing just one run on two hits while keeping the opposition off balance. His poise and control were key in keeping the game close early on.

In relief, Adam Yarrison came in for one inning of work and struck out three batters, proving to be an effective weapon in the bullpen. His performance helped shut down any hopes of a comeback from the opposition and solidified the Cyclones' victory.

The Cyclones' offense came alive when it mattered most, as their four-run outburst in the fourth inning gave them the lead they needed to take control of the game. Their ability to capitalize on opportunities, along with the stellar pitching from Voltaire and Yarrison, ensured that they would come out on top in this hard-fought contest.

With the 6-4 win, Centenary continues to show resilience and teamwork, and the Cyclones will look to build on this momentum as they push forward in the season. With clutch performances from both their offense and pitching staff, the Cyclones are proving to be a team to watch as the season progresses. They sit 2-4-1 heading into next week's showdown with Purchase College.
