(Central Islip, N.Y., Aug. 21, 2010) - The Long Island Ducks defeated the Newark Bears 3-0 on Saturday night before a past-capacity crowd of 6,063 at Suffolk County Sports Park.
Long Island rallied with two outs in the second inning to take the early lead against Bears' starter Derek Blacksher. Matt Padgett doubled and came around to score on Matt Cavagnaro's RBI single to left. Robinson Cancel extended the lead to 2-0 in the following inning when he blasted a solo homer over the scoreboard in left-center field.
The score remained the same until the eighth when the Ducks tacked on an insurance run. Matt Esquivel's RBI single plated Javier Colina, giving the Flock a 3-0 advantage.
