(Charleston, W.Va.) - The Long Island Ducks defeated the Charleston Dirty Birds 4-3 in ten innings on Thursday night in the rubber game of a three-game series at GoMart Ballpark.
The Dirty Birds took a 2-0 first inning lead on an RBI double by Alsander Womack and a bases loaded walk issued to Travis Demeritte against Ducks starting pitcher Mitchell Senger. Long Island got to within 2-1 in the fourth courtesy of a Ronaldo Flores solo home run to left field versus Charleston starter Kyle McGowin.
The Flock took their first lead of the evening at 3-2 in the seventh thanks to an RBI double from Cody Thomas and a run-scoring base hit off the bat of Troy Viola, both coming with two men down. Charleston tied the game in the ninth on Chad Sedio's RBI single, but Long Island took the lead for good in the tenth thanks to Taylor Kohlwey's two out RBI single as the Ducks won their first extra-inning contest in four games played in 2025.
Neither starter factored into the decision. Senger allowed two runs on one hit in one-third of an inning pitched, walking five. McGowin gave up one run on seven hits across five innings of work, walking and striking out three. Peyton Williams (1-2) picked up the win after giving up a run on one hit in two innings to go along with two walks (one intentional) and a pair of strikeouts. Brendan Medoro (0-1) suffered the loss, giving up an unearned run on one hit in one inning on the mound along with a free pass.
Flores had three more hits, including a solo home run along with an RBI, run scored and intentional walk.
