Centenary Baseball Falls Short in 23-8 Loss Despite Big Hits from Castillo and Chiego

In a tough outing for Centenary Baseball, the Cyclones fell to their opponents with a final score of 23-8. Despite a few bright moments and some powerful individual performances, the team struggled to contain their rivals' offense, leading to a lopsided loss that saw them unable to recover after an early deficit.

The game started off on the wrong foot for the Cyclones, who quickly found themselves trailing after a string of defensive miscues and a relentless offensive barrage from their opponents. By the middle of the game, Centenary was faced with an insurmountable 17-7 deficit after a 14 run fourth inning. 

However, the Cyclones did manage to generate some offensive highlights throughout the game. Myles Castillo put on a show with a towering 3-run home run, a bright spot in an otherwise tough contest. Castillo's homer came in the fourth inning, bringing some life to the Cyclones' dugout and cutting into the deficit. His timely hit brought some momentum, but unfortunately, it wasn't enough to close the gap as the opposing offense continued to pound the ball.

Dominick Chiego, who has been a consistent performer all season, also had another solid day at the plate. He finished with two hits and two RBIs, contributing to the Cyclones' offensive efforts. Chiego's performance continues to show his ability to come through in big spots, though on this day, even his clutch hitting couldn't spark a full comeback.

While the Cyclones showed flashes of offense, their pitching and defense struggled to keep pace with the high-scoring game. The opposing team took full advantage, putting up crooked numbers in multiple innings, including a huge 7-run sixth inning that sealed the Cyclones' fate.

For Centenary, this loss was a tough one, but they'll take the lessons from the game and use them to bounce back. With players like Castillo and Chiego leading the charge, the Cyclones remain a dangerous team, and they'll be eager to get back into the win column with their trip to Florida.
