(York, Pa.) - The Long Island Ducks were defeated by the York Revolution 11-3 on Sunday afternoon in the rubber game of the three-game series.
The Revolution used the longball to fuel their offense. Bubba Alleyne and Marty Costes each hit two-run homers, while Brandon Lewis, William Simoneit and Ryan Higgins each had a solo homer.
Long Island's first run came off the bat of River Town in the second inning, as his RBI double scored Taylor Kohlwey. Troy Viola added an RBI double in the eighth before Cody Thomas scored on a balk. Town finished with two hits and a stolen base to lead the Ducks offense.
Pace (3-1) earned the win, tossing seven innings of one-run ball, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out nine batters. Sandberg (1-1) took the loss, conceding four runs on two hits and five walks in one and one-third innings with one strikeout.
