Long Island Ducks News Release
(Staten Island, N.Y.) - The Long Island Ducks shut out the Staten Island FerryHawks 10-0 on Tuesday night in the opener of a three-game series at Staten Island University Hospital Community Park.
Long Island cracked the scoreboard first in the third inning when Tzu-Wei Lin stole second base and Brantley Bell scored from third on a throwing error. A four-run fourth inning extended the Ducks lead to 5-0. Back-to-back RBI doubles by Chance Sisco and Bell along with a two-run home run off the foul pole in right by Lin, all with two outs, did the damage.
It stayed that way until the ninth when the Ducks put up a five-spot to double their lead to 10. Alex Dickerson's three-run homer to right-center and Sisco's two-run single to center highlighted the inning.
Joe Iorio (3-4) earned the win, tossing seven scoreless innings, allowing just a bunt single and a walk while striking out four. Ivan Pineyro (2-2) took the loss, giving up five runs (four earned) on six hits and three walks over five innings with four strikeouts.
Dickerson led the Ducks offensively with three hits, three RBIs and a run scored. Lin also totaled three hits, driving in two runs and scoring once, while Sisco added two hits, three RBIs, a run and two walks.
