Full game notes are linked below.

LAST TIME OUT: Brooklyn secured a series victory Sunday afternoon with a win over Asheville, thanks to a multi-home run game from INF Nick Lorusso... The former Maryland Terrapin clobbered his first two career home runs, including a walk-off solo blast with two outs in the ninth...The victory gave the 'Clones their third-straight win — good for their longest win streak of the season thus far...Gilbert Gómez's crew limited the Tourists to just four hits, as the bullpen combined for seven innings of two-run ball, while striking out 14 batters.

HAVE A DAY, KID!: INF Nick Lorusso enjoyed his best day as a Cyclone in Sunday's series finale against Asheville...The 2023 9th-round selection by the Mets belted a game-tying solo home run in the third and then followed suit with a walk-off blast with Brooklyn down to its final out in the ninth...Lorusso also sandwiched a double between his two home runs, setting a new career high with three base hits...The Littleton, Colo. native launched 26 home runs in his final collegiate campaign as a Maryland Terrapin but did not leave the yard in 26 games with St. Lucie to conclude 2023.

THE BANK IS OPEN!: Brooklyn added RHP Brett Banks ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the BlueClaws...A 2023 11th-round selection by the Mets, Banks appeared in three contests out of Single-A St. Lucie's bullpen...The UNC Wilmington product hurled 3.0 innings, allowing only one earned run. Banks saw limited action — also three games out of the bullpen — with the FCL Mets last season after hearing his name called...Banks went undrafted in the 2021 MLB draft and went on to pitch for the Johnson City Doughboys of the Appalachian League...He also attended the same high school (Garner Magnet) as Cyclones two-way player Nolan McLean.

GRAB SOME PINE: RHPs Calvin Ziegler, Jordany Ventura, Sean Reid-Foley, Justin Lawson, and Ben Simon united to punch out 18 Asheville batters in Sunday's walk-off victory...RHPs Calvin Ziegler, Josh Hejka, Dakota Hawkins, and Joshua Corneilly also combined to strike out 18 Wilmington hitters over 9.2 innings in April 7's loss at Wilmington...The 18 strikeouts by Cyclones pitching are the most for the franchise in a single game since July 23, 2016, vs. Aberdeen...RHP Justin Dunn (5), LHP Kyle Regnault (2), and RHP Nabil Crismatt (11) combined to whiff 18 IronBirds over 9.0 innings in a 7-2 win...The multiple contests with 18+ strikeouts are tied for the most by a Cyclones team since 2005...Brooklyn also accomplished the feat in a pair of extra-inning games in 2016 and in two nine-inning games in 2008...The single-game franchise mark for team strikeouts is 22 set in a 20-inning, 3-2 loss vs. Staten Island on June 17, 2016.
