(Lancaster, Pa., June 22, 2025) – The Long Island Ducks were defeated by the Lancaster Stormers 7-6 in 10 innings on Sunday afternoon in the final game of a three-game series at Penn Medicine Park.
Long Island jumped out in front 2-0 in the top half of the first inning on RBI singles from Ronaldo Flores and Roldani Baldwin off Lancaster starting pitcher Max Green. Lancaster took a 4-2 lead in the home half of the frame on run-scoring base hits by Mason Martin and Joseph Carpenter and a two-run home run to right field from Nick Lucky versus Ducks starter David Griffin. The Flock tied the game at four in the third on Taylor Kohlwey’s RBI single and Baldwin’s sacrifice fly.
The visitors made it 5-4 in their favor in the fourth thanks to a Chris Roller solo home run to right. Lancaster tied the game in the fifth on Lucky’s RBI double. The Ducks took a 6-5 advantage in the tenth on Baldwin’s run-scoring single, but the Stormers plated a pair of runs in the bottom of the inning thanks to an Alex Isola RBI single and a Yeison Coca sacrifice fly as Lancaster was able to walk it off on Long Island in extra innings.
Neither starter factored in the decision. Griffin allowed five runs on eight hits across five innings pitched, walking three while striking out one. Green surrendered five runs on ten hits across five innings of work to go along with three strikeouts. Jackson Rees (4-1) notched the win after giving up an unearned run on one hit in one inning on the mound and one strikeout. Jacob Asa (2-1) suffered the loss, allowing two runs (one earned) on a pair of hits in two-thirds of an inning.
Flores tallied his first four hit game of his Ducks career, while JC Encarnacion also collected four hits, including two doubles while scoring a pair of runs and stealing a base.
