(Lancaster, Pa., July 14, 2024) – The Long Island Ducks were defeated by the Lancaster Stormers on Sunday afternoon in the rubber game of a three-game series at Clipper Magazine Stadium.
Long Island’s offense was led by Ryan McBroom, who launched a grand slam in the fifth inning as part of a two-hit day. Jackie Bradley Jr. also homered for the Ducks, recording two hits, two runs and two walks.
Neither starter factored into the decision. Chen pitched five innings of four-run ball, allowing five hits and two walks while striking out three. Tedesco threw five innings of five-run ball, giving up three hits and four walks with five strikeouts. James Hoyt (2-3) picked up the win with a scoreless sixth inning, while Justin Alintoff (2-2) took the loss, conceding four runs on four hits and a walk in one and one-third innings.
