(Central Islip, N.Y.) - The Long Island Ducks were defeated by the Road Warriors 7-3 on Sunday afternoon in the finale of a three-game series and in the final regular season home game of the year at Bethpage Ballpark.
The Road Warriors took a 3-0 lead in the first inning on an RBI single by Edwin Gomez, a wild pitch by Ducks starter Brett Marshall and a run-scoring double play. The Ducks answered right back in the bottom of the inning to tie the game at three. An RBI single by Miles Williams, a run-scoring wild by Road Warriors starter Julio DePaula and an RBI double by Ramon Cabrera highlighted the inning.
