(York, Pa., July 25, 2025) – The Long Island Ducks defeated the York Revolution 6-5 on Friday night in the opener of a three-game series at WellSpan Park.
The Ducks jumped out in front 2-0 four batters into the ballgame courtesy of Seth Beer’s two-run home run to right field off Revolution starting pitcher Tyler Palm. York cut the deficit to 2-1 in the third on Frankie Tostado’s RBI double versus Long Island starter David Griffin. The Flock took a 5-1 edge in the fourth thanks to a JC Encarnacion two-run double immediately followed by a Justin O’Conner run-scoring base knock.
Shayne Fontana’s leadoff homer in the fourth and Jailyn Davis’ RBI base hit trimmed Long Island’s advantage to 5-3. A Jeffrey Wehler run-scoring single in the fifth got the home team to within a run at 5-4. Troy Viola was hit by a pitch with three Ducks on the pond in the seventh to put the Flock ahead 6-4. Bubba Alleyne’s sacrifice fly plated Fontana to make it 6-5, but that was as close as York would get as Braydon Nelson retired the side in order in the home half of the ninth for his fourth save of the season.
Griffin did not factor in the decision after giving up one run on four hits in two and two-thirds innings on the mound. Justin Alintoff (3-5) got the win, allowing three runs on five hits in two and a third innings pitched to go along with a pair of walks and three strikeouts. Palm (3-3), suffered the loss, surrendering two runs on two hits in three innings of work, striking out four.
Ivan Castillo had two hits, a run scored, and a pair of walks, while Beer has now hit a home run in three consecutive games for the Flock.
