(Central Islip, N.Y., May 28, 2026) – The Long Island Ducks defeated the York Revolution 7-6 in waddle-off fashion in 11 innings on Thursday night in the final game of a three-game series at Fairfield Properties Ballpark.
Long Island took a 2-0 advantage in the bottom half of the fifth inning thanks to back-to-back one-out run-scoring singles from Jacob Robson and Anthony Garcia off York starting pitcher Braden Scott. The Revolution got to within 2-1 in the seventh on an Austin Bates RBI base hit against Ducks starter Nolan Clenney.
The visitors plated a pair of runs in the ninth to take their first lead of ballgame 3-2 on a Bates RBI double and Ben Blackwell run-scoring single. The Flock tied the game at three in the last of the ninth on a Rolando Hernandez RBI base knock. York scored twice in the tenth for a 5-3 cushion thanks to a Devonte Brown two-run single, but Long Island knotted the game at five apiece a half-inning later by way of Alsander Womack’s two-out, two-strike, 390-foot two-run home run to right centerfield. The Revolution scratched across a run in the 11th on a Bates sacrifice fly, but the Flock answered with two runs in the bottom of the inning on Wilmer Difo’s RBI single and Aaron Takacs’ walk-off run-scoring infield single as the Ducks were able to take the rubber game in dramatic fashion while also notching their first victory in extra-innings on the campaign.
Neither starter factored into the decision. Clenney allowed one run on four hits in six and one-third innings pitched, walking two and striking out seven. Scott gave up two runs on five hits in seven innings on the mound, walking three while striking out ten. Bryan Shaw (1-0) picked up the win despite giving up an unearned run on a pair of hits and a strikeout. Denny Bentely (0-1) suffered the loss, surrendering two runs (one earned) on two hits in two-thirds of an inning, striking out one.
Hernandez had three hits, including a double, along with an RBI and has now reached base safely in all 12 games he has played for the Ducks while also extending his hitting streak to ten consecutive games overall.
