(Waldorf, Md.) - The Long Island Ducks defeated the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs 9-6 on Sunday afternoon in the finale of a four-game set at Regency Furniture Stadium.

In the seventh, Alfredo Marte's two-run home run cut Southern Maryland's deficit to 9-5. Antoan Richardson scored when Michael Snyder hit into a double play, making it 9-6, but that was all Southern Maryland could muster.
