Three-run homer by Brandon Jones evens series

(York, Penn., April 25, 2015) – The Long Island Ducks were defeated by the York Revolution 3-1 on Saturday night in the middle game of a three-game series at Santander Stadium.

GAME AUDIO: Jon Griffin’s RBI single to center field

Long Island scored the game’s first run in the second inning on Jon Griffin’s RBI single to center field off York starter Anthony Lerew. It stayed that way until the fourth when Brandon Jones hit a two-out three-run home run to right-center off Ducks starter Mark Rogers. The Ducks threatened with a runner on base in each inning, but they could not complete the rally back.

Lerew (1-0) picked up the win, tossing five innings, allowing one run on five hits and two walks while striking out six. Rogers (0-1) suffered the loss, yielding three runs on five hits and one walk with four strikeouts in five innings. Josh Judy collected his first save with a scoreless ninth inning.

Cody Puckett and Dan Lyons each had two hits to lead the Flock.
