GAME AUDIO: Highlights from the extra-inning thriller

York began the scoring in the bottom of the first inning with RBI singles from Eric Patterson and Chad Tracy off Ducks starter Jared Lansford to take a 2-0 lead.

Long Island took its first lead of the ballgame in the top of the fourth inning with a five-run outburst off York starter Alain Quijano. RBI base hits from Lew Ford, Adam Bailey, Jan Vazquez, Dan Lyons and Fehlandt Lentini highlighted the inning.

The Revolution responded in the bottom of the fourth to trim the Ducks lead to one on a two-run home run from Travis Garcia. Dan Lyons extended Long Island’s lead back to three in the top of the sixth with a two-run home run, but a Salvador Paniagua two-run homer in the bottom of the sixth trimmed the lead back to one.

York later tied the ballgame in the bottom of the eighth on a two-out RBI double from Sean Smith. The Ducks immediately regained the lead in the top of the ninth on a sacrifice fly from Lew Ford. However, the Revolution tied the game once again in the bottom of the ninth on a two-out single from Johan Limonta to send the game to extra innings.
