Long Island Ducks News Release
York, Pa.- The Long Island Ducks defeated the York Revolution 8-2 on Tuesday night in the second game of a four-game series at PeoplesBank Park.
The Ducks got to work right away with two runs in the first inning on a sacrifice fly from Marc Krauss and an RBI single from Angelo Songco. Back-to-back wo-out RBI singles by Nolan Reimold and Krauss in the second off Revolution starter Frank Gailey doubled the lead to 4-0.
York got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the second against Ducks starter Rafael Perez on a sac fly off the bat of Ryan Dent and an RBI single from Derrick Robinson. However, single runs for Long Island in the third and fourth pushed the lead to 6-2. A solo home run to right by Songco and a two-out RBI single from Krauss did the damage.
