Long Island Ducks News Release
(Central Islip, N.Y.) - The Long Island Ducks defeated the York Revolution 4-1 in a rain-shortened contest on Wednesday night to take the middle game of a three-game series at Fairfield Properties Ballpark.
York opened the scoring in the third inning on Jalen Miller's sacrifice fly to right field off Ducks starter Juan Hillman. Long Island answered with a three-run fourth inning, highlighted by Aaron Antonini's RBI double to left field and a two-run home run to right-center field by Taylor Kohlwey off Revolution starter Chris Vallimont.
