(Hagerstown, Md.) - The Long Island Ducks defeated the Hagerstown Flying Boxcars 11-8 on Friday evening in the opener of a three-game series at Meritus Park.
Long Island took a 3-0 lead in the top half of the first inning on an RBI single by Troy Viola and a two-run double produced by Taylor Kohlwey against Hagerstown starting pitcher Casey Marshalwitz. The Flying Boxcars answered with four runs of their own in the home half of the frame to take their first lead of the ballgame, highlighted by a bases loaded walk to Ossie Abreu and a run-scoring groundout from Miles Williams versus Ducks starter Mitchell Senger.
The Flock went back ahead 5-4 in the second on a two-run home run to left field by Chrois Roller. Trailing 6-5 in the fourth, the visitors regained a one-run advantage at 7-6 on Cody Thomas' RBI fielder's choice and Viola's run-scoring two-base hit. Down 8-7 in the sixth, the Flock got even on a River Town RBI base knock. Long Island took a 9-8 advantage in the eighth by way of Kole Kaler's RBI doubled and added a pair of insurance runs in the ninth thanks to Ed Johnson's two-run double.
Neither starter factored into the decision. Senger allowed seven runs on one hit in two and two-thirds innings pitched, walking seven and striking out one. Marshalwitz surrendered five runs on five hits across three innings of work, walking two while striking out one. Jonah Dipoto (1-0) notched his first win as a member of the Ducks with a scoreless inning on one hit allowed along with a walk and a strikeout. Donald Goodson (0-2) was tagged with the loss, giving up one run on two hits in two-thirds of an inning, walking and striking out one. Peyton Williams shut the door in the ninth with a scoreless frame for his team-leading seventh save of the season.
Kaler tallied three hits, including a double and a triple along with an RBI, a run scored and a walk. Roller tallied a triple and a home run along with two RBIs and a pair of runs scored.
