Long Island Ducks News Release
(York, PA) - The Long Island Ducks defeated the York Revolution 7-3 on Thursday night in the rubber game of a three-game series at WellSpan Park.
York took a 2-0 lead in the bottom half of the first inning on a two-run home run to left centerfield off the bat of Zander Wiel against Long Island starting pitcher Nick Tropeano. The Revolution made it 3-0 in their favor in the second on Ciaran Devenney's RBI groundout.
The Ducks cut the deficit to 3-2 in the third scoring their first run after JC Encarnacion stole third base for his second bag swiped of the inning and hustled home on a Devenney throwing error and then tallied their second run on a Yonny Hernandez sacrifice fly versus Revolution starter Zach Neff.
The Flock took their first lead of the ballgame at 4-3 in the sixth thanks to an Encarnacion run-scoring fielder's choice and a bases loaded walk issued to Kole Kaler. The visitors made it 5-3 in the eighth on Kaler's RBI base knock, and scored a pair of insurance runs in the ninth courtesy of a two-run double off the bat of Taylor Kohlwey,
Tropeano (3-1) picked up the victory after giving up three runs on four hits over five innings pitched, walking three and striking out four. Neff (7-6) was tagged with the loss, surrendering four runs on nine hits over five and two-thirds innings on the mound, walking one while striking out six.
Kaler reached base all four times with three singles, two RBIs, a run scored, a walk and two stolen bases. Yoelquis Cespedes notched his first three-hit game as a member of the Ducks, and Aaron Antonini's single, walk and two runs scored extended his on-base streak to 25 consecutive games overall.
