Bridgeport, Conn.- The Long Island Ducks were defeated by the Bridgeport Bluefish 6-1 on Sunday afternoon in the finale of a four-game series at The Ballpark at Harbor Yard.

Bridgeport took the lead with a pair of two-out runs off of Ducks starter Matt Larkins in the fourth on an RBI double by Jonathan Galvez and an RBI single by Tony Abreu.
