Long Island Ducks News Release


(Staten Island, N.Y.) - The Long Island Ducks were defeated by the Staten Island FerryHawks 7-4 on Wednesday night in the middle game of a three-game series at Staten Island University Hospital Community Park.

Chris Roller gave the Ducks a 1-0 lead in the third inning with a 403-foot solo home run off the scoreboard in left-center field. Staten Island jumped in front 4-1 in the bottom of the third on a bases loaded hit by pitch of Tyler Dearden, a two-run single by Cristhian Rodriguez and an RBI infield single by Pablo Sandoval.

Seth Beer closed to the gap to one in the sixth with a two-run single down the right field line. A two-out bases loaded walk by JC Encarnacion in the seventh tied the game at four. However, a three-run bottom of the seventh, highlighted by RBI singles from Kolby Johnson and Rodriguez, restored Staten Island's three-run lead at 7-4.

Neither starter factored into the decision. Ryan Langford tossed two and two-thirds innings for the Ducks, allowing four runs on five hits and a walk with two strikeouts. Christian Allegretti threw six innings of three-run ball for the FerryHawks, giving up three runs on six hits and four walks while striking out three. Durbin Feltman (1-0) picked up the win despite allowing a run on four walks in one inning. Justin Alintoff (2-5) took the loss, conceding three runs on four hits and a walk in four innings with one strikeout. Robbie Baker collected his seventh save with a 1-2-3 ninth inning.

Beer led the Ducks offense with two hits and two RBIs. Roller added a homer, two walks and two stolen bases.
