Bridgewater, NJ - The Somerset Patriots (37-25) defeated the Long Island Ducks (38-24) 3-2 at TD Bank Ballpark on Sunday afternoon.

The Patriots then claimed the lead on a sacrifice fly by Alfredo Rodriguez in the bottom of the fourth inning.
Hector Sanchez knotted up the game at 2-2 on an RBI single in the sixth inning.
Will Kengor wasted no time taking back the lead on a solo home run (5) in the bottom of the frame.
"I was just trying to see the ball. I let it get deep in there," said Kengor, who also finished the game 2-for-3 with two runs scored. "I just got a pitch to hit, I think it was kind of a mistake, and I put a good barrel on it."
