Long Island Ducks News Release
(Central Islip, NY) - The Long Island Ducks defeated the York Revolution 7-3 on Friday night at Bethpage Ballpark to extend their season-long winning streak to eight games.
York struck first to take a 1-0 lead on a sacrifice fly to center by former Duck Jose Herrera in the first. Long Island got a sac fly of their own off the bat of Lew Ford in the bottom of the inning to tie the game at one. A three-spot in the second inning against Revs' starter Lee Tabor gave the Ducks their first lead of the contest. Matt Padgett scored on a wild pitch and Ray Navarrete grounded a two-run single up the middle in the frame.
The offensive onslaught continued in the third as the Ducks brought home three more runs. A RBI single to left from Padgett and a two-run base hit by J.R. House upped the score to 7-1. The Revs cut the deficit to four with two runs in the fifth off Ducks' starter Mark Diapoules but could not get closer.
Diapoules (4-1) collected the win, pitching six innings, allowing just three runs while striking out four. Tabor (2-1) was the loser, surrendering seven runs on eight hits in two innings of work. Three Ducks pitchers combined to keep York scoreless over the final three innings.
