(Lancaster, Penn., June 13, 2012) – The Long Island Ducks were defeated by the Lancaster Barnstormers 4-3 in 10 innings in the first game of a doubleheader on Wednesday evening at Clipper Magazine Stadium.

The Barnstormers jumped out to a 3-0 lead against Ducks starter Randy Keisler on a RBI single in the first by Tommy Everidge and a two-run single in the second by Terry Tiffee. Long Island got on the scoreboard in the third on a run-scoring base hit from Dan Lyons off Lancaster starter John Halama.

The Ducks drew closer on a RBI single to left by Ray Navarrete in the sixth and tied it in the seventh on a two-out RBI single to center by Lyons. It stayed that way until the bottom of the 10th when Blake Gailen hit a walk-off homer to right-center.

Neither starter factored in the decision. Keisler yielded three runs on 12 hits with four strikeouts in five and two-thirds innings, and Halama tossed five and two-thirds innings, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out three. Jason Urquidez (2-0) got the win, tossing one and one-third scoreless innings of relief, while Josh Lansford (0-1) took the loss after allowing the winning run.
