The Brooklyn Cyclones, Coney Island’s minor league baseball team, delivered a 3-1 win to devout fans during the first home game of the season on April 9.

Chilly weather didn’t keep the hometown sports fanatics from heading to the ballpark on the boardwalk. The baseball buffs showed up loud and proud in their Cyclones gear, ready to cheer on the team while enjoying park eats.

Justin Rocke, assistant media relations for the team and play-by-play broadcaster, said Brooklynites can expect to see new features throughout the park this season, including upgrades to the lights, sound system and seats.

“I’m most excited to see the fans and everyone come back out to Coney Island,” Rocke said. “This is an amazing place to come out and work on a daily basis. We’ve got a great group of players and coaches that make my job every day a lot of fun but a lot of it is also interacting with the fans and the patrons here on Coney Island.”

Ryan Clifford, a Mets prospect, hit a home run in the eighth, securing the team’s third run of the evening. He said it was great hearing fans support them throughout the game.

“They showed out. A lot of energy tonight. It’s cool to have the light shows and some new stuff going on,” Clifford told Brooklyn Paper. “It’s a sweet park.”
