(Sugar Land, Texas) - The Long Island Ducks were defeated by the Sugar Land Skeeters 1-0 on Thursday night in the finale of a three-game series at Constellation Field.
Neither side dented home plate until the bottom of the sixth inning. Matt Chavez's two-out RBI single up the middle scored Derek Norris for the lone run of the ballgame.
Skeeters starter Casey Coleman did not factor into the decision but pitched four scoreless innings, allowing two hits and two walks with three strikeouts. James Russell (1-0) picked up the win with two scoreless innings of relief, yielding two hits while striking out two. Ducks starter Jake Fisher (2-1) took the hard-luck loss, conceding just one run on six hits and two walks over six innings while striking out seven. Felipe Paulino collected his ninth save of the season with a 1-2-3 ninth inning.
