(Central Islip, N.Y., June 3, 2026) – The Long Island Ducks defeated the Staten Island FerryHawks 10-3 on Wednesday night in the second game of a six-game series at Fairfield Properties Ballpark.
Staten Island took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a two-out RBI single up the middle by Blake Rutherford off Ducks starter Nolan Clenney. Long Island countered with a five-run bottom of the inning against FerryHawks starter Hollis Fanning to go in front. Back-to-back solo homers by Chris Roller and Jacob Robson, a bases loaded walk by Alsander Womack and a two-run single to right by Kole Kaler did the damage.
The visitors closed to within 5-2 in the fourth on an RBI single to left-center field. However, Anthony Garcia responded in the bottom of the frame with a 419-foot two-run homer to left-center. An RBI infield single to short by Roller in the fifth made it 8-2 Ducks. Two more runs came home for the hosts in the sixth on back-to-back RBI singles by Aaron Takacs and Womack to push the lead to eight.
Clenney (3-3) earned the win, tossing six and two-thirds innings of three-run ball, allowing seven hits and two walks while striking out a season-high-tying eight. Fanning (0-1) suffered the loss, surrendering five runs on three hits and three walks in one-third of an inning. Tanner Jacobson, Buddy Reed and Sal Romano combined to pitch two and one-third scoreless innings of relief for the Flock.
Roller and Garcia led the Ducks offense with two hits, two RBIs, two runs and a walk each. Ronaldo Hernandez added two hits and a run, while Womack and Kaler each drove in two runs.
