Long Island Ducks News Release
(York, Pa.) - The Long Island Ducks defeated the York Revolution 13-11 on Saturday evening in the second of a three-game Father's Day weekend series at WellSpan Park. The victory for Long Island was their 1,581st in franchise history, the most victories by any franchise in the Atlantic League's 25-year history.
The Ducks took a 2-0 lead against Revolution starter Tom Sutera four batters into the ballgame thanks to a two-home run off the bat of Sam Travis. York cut the Long Island lead in half at 2-1 in the bottom of the frame against starting pitcher Robert Stock thanks to a sacrifice fly produced by Richard Urena that plated Trent Giambrone. The Flock added two more runs in the second for a 4-1 cushion highlighted by an RBI base knock from Chance Sisco that scored Brian Goodwin.
The visitors scored four times in the third for an 8-1 cushion on an RBI two-base hit by Alex Dickerson, a run-scoring single from Goodwin, a sacrifice fly by Joe DeCarlo, and a solo home run from Sisco. Long Island made it 10-1 in their favor in the fourth as Ruben Tejada launched a two-run tater for his first big fly in a Ducks uniform.
Sisco was at it again in the fifth as he blasted his second solo home run in as many at bats to put Long Island ahead 11-1. The designated hitter's night to remember continued in the seventh as the left-hander belted a two-run home run to left center field to extend the Flock's advantage to 13-2 as Sisco joined Ray Navarrete (June 8, 2008 vs, Newark) and Dustin Woodcock (July 13, 2022) as the only players in Long Island Ducks franchise history to hit three home runs in a single ballgame.
Stock (1-0) was victorious in his Atlantic League debut, allowing two runs on four hits in five innings on the mound, walking five and striking out three. Sutera (3-3) was tagged with the loss, surrendering 11 runs on 13 hits (four home runs) in five innings pitched, walking and striking out one.
Sisco was the offensive star with four hits, five RBI's three runs scored and a walk as Long Island tallied a season-high five roundtrippers en route to the victory.
