Long Island Ducks News Release
(Central Islip, N.Y.) - The Long Island Ducks defeated the Lancaster Stormers 15-4 on Thursday night in the final game of a three-game series at Fairfield Properties Ballpark.
The Ducks exploded for nine first inning runs off Stormers starter A.J. Alexy to take the early lead. Taylor Kohlwey's RBI triple to right field, RBI singles to center by Roldani Baldwin and Ed Johnson, a two-run single to left by Chris Roller and a two-run homer to right by River Town did the damage. Baldwin's solo homer to left in the second and Cody Thomas' solo blast to right in the third made it an 11-run advantage for Long Island.
Nick Ward's two-run homer to right-center in the fifth inning off Ducks starter Tyler Beede got Lancaster on the scoreboard. However, the Ducks countered with three runs in the bottom of the frame on Troy Viola's RBI double to center and a two-run homer down the right field line by Kohlwey, making it 14-2 Flock.
