The Long Island Ducks will wrap up the 2022 season this weekend when they take on the rival Staten Island FerryHawks in the inaugural installment of the “Battle of the Belt”.

The Ducks and FerryHawks will meet for a three-game series Friday, September 16, through Sunday, September 18, at Staten Island University Hospital Community Park. Friday’s game is slated to begin at 7:00 p.m., with Saturday’s contest scheduled to get underway at 6:00 p.m. and first pitch for Sunday’s season finale set for 4:00 p.m.

The team that wins the season series will be awarded a custom-designed championship belt. The belt will remain in that team’s possession until the opposing team wins a season series. Additionally, Ducks President/GM Michael Pfaff and FerryHawks Executive VP/GM Gary Perone have placed a friendly wager on the 2022 Battle of the Belt. The losing team will be required to send a care package to the winning team full of notable items that come from either Staten Island or Long Island.

Currently, Staten Island leads the Battle of the Belt 16-15. Long Island would need to sweep the three-game series to win the belt outright or take two out of three to earn a share of the belt for 2022.
