Long Island Ducks News Release
(York, Pa.) - The Long Island Ducks defeated the York Revolution 16-9 on Sunday afternoon in the final game of a three-game series at PeoplesBank Park.
The Ducks opened the scoring in the second inning on Joe DeCarlo's RBI single to center field off Revolution starter Austin Nicely. York took a 3-1 lead against Ducks starter Scott Harkin in the bottom of the inning on RBI singles by Connor Lien and Josue Herrera and a sac fly off the bat of Lenin Rodriguez.
However, Long Island responded with a seven-run third inning to go back in front 8-3. Deibinson Romero's three-run home run and Anfernee Seymour's grand slam, both over the Arch Nemesis in left, did the damage. Melky Mesa's RBI double to left-center in the bottom of the third closed the gap to 8-4.
It stayed that way until the sixth when an eight-run inning gave the Ducks a 16-4 lead. RBI singles by Phil Caulfield, Romero and DeCarlo, along with a grand slam by Vladimir Frias, highlighted the inning. The Revs closed to within 16-9 in the bottom of the sixth, highlighted by Herrera's grand slam, but they could get no closer.
