(Central Islip, N.Y., May 1, 2026) – The Long Island Ducks were defeated by the Lexington Legends 6-5 on Friday night in the fourth game of a six-game series at Fairfield Properties Ballpark.
Lexington took a 1-0 lead in the second inning on an RBI single through the left side by Mikey Kane. A sacrifice fly to center field by Brenden Dixon in the third made it 2-0 Legends. Jacob Robson cut the Ducks deficit in half in the bottom of the third with an RBI single through the right side, but Jackson Feltner restored Lexington’s two-run lead at 3-1 with a solo homer to left-center in the fourth off Ducks starter Michael Dominguez.
Long Island tied the game in the fifth on a 414-foot two-run home run to right-center by Caleb Roberts off Legends starter Connor Wilford. However, the Legends went back in front 6-3 in the sixth on a two-run double by Kane and an RBI single by Tres Gonzalez. The Ducks pulled to within a run a 6-5 in the seventh thanks to Robson’s RBI single to right and a run-scoring groundout from Roberts, but they could not even the score.
Dominguez did not factor into the decision but pitched five innings, allowing three runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out seven. Wilford (1-0) earned the win, tossing five innings of three-run ball, allowing six hits and a walk while striking out six. Juan Martinez (0-1) suffered the loss, surrendering three runs on three hits and two walks in two-thirds of an inning. Wilber Perez collected his second save with a 1-2-3 ninth inning.
