(Central Islip, N.Y.) - The Long Island Ducks shut out the Wild Health Genomes 4-0 on Friday night in the opener of a three-game series at Fairfield Properties Ballpark.

The Ducks struck first with a three-run fourth inning against Genomes starter Elih Villanueva. RBI singles by Alejandro De Aza and Deibinson Romero, along with an RBI double by Sam Travis, did the damage. It stayed that way until the bottom of the seventh when the Ducks pushed across their fourth run on a bases loaded walk by De Aza.

That was plenty for Ducks starter Scott Harkin (4-4) to earn the win. The righty tossed six scoreless innings, allowing five hits and a walk while striking out seven. Villanueva (3-5) took the loss, conceding four runs on eight hits and a walk over six and two-thirds innings with 10 strikeouts. Tyler Webb tossed a 1-2-3 ninth inning, striking out one, to end the ballgame.

Travis led the Flock offensively with two hits, an RBI and a run scored. De Aza added a hit, two RBIs, a run and a walk.
