GAME VIDEO: Highlights from the victory in York
The Ducks got to work right away with two runs in the first inning on a sacrifice fly from Marc Krauss and an RBI single from Angelo Songco. Back-to-back two-out RBI singles by Nolan Reimold and Krauss in the second off Revolution starter Frank Gailey doubled the lead to 4-0.
York got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the second against Ducks starter Rafael Perez on a sac fly off the bat of Ryan Dent and an RBI single from Derrick Robinson. However, single runs for Long Island in the third and fourth pushed the lead to 6-2. A solo home run to right by Songco and a two-out RBI single from Krauss did the damage.
Two more runs in the sixth rounded out the scoring for the Ducks. Fehlandt Lentini came home on a wild pitch from Jarret Martin, and Delta Cleary Jr. scored on an RBI fielder’s choice from Cody Puckett.
