The Ducks took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Alsander Womack reached on an infield single, stole two bases and scored on a throwing error. Henry Kusiak doubled the lead to two with a 419-foot solo home run to center field in the third off Flying Boxcars starter Jack Eisenbarger.
Long Island then erupted for six runs in the fourth to extend their advantage to 8-0. A solo homer to left-center by Marcus Chiu, an RBI single to right by Kusiak and a two-out grand slam to right by Womack did the damage.
