Brooklyn, NY (May 24, 2026) – The Hudson Valley Renegades fell to the Brooklyn Cyclones 4-0 in a weather-shortened seven-inning contest on Sunday afternoon at Maimonides Park.
The game was called with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning after a hit batter and subsequent injury and mound work delay. The mound was deemed unplayable after persistent rain throughout the day and the game was ended early.
The start of Sunday’s game was delayed by 47 minutes due to rain.
Hudson Valley is now 10-4 on the season against Brooklyn, including a 5-3 record at Maimonides Park.
