(York, Pa.) - The Long Island Ducks were defeated by the York Revolution 3-2 on Sunday afternoon in the finale of a three-game series at PeoplesBank Park.
York plated the game's first run on a sacrifice fly to center field off the bat of Telvin Nash in the first inning. Long Island answered in the third, as an RBI double to center by Matt den Dekker and a sac fly to right by L.J. Mazzilli gave the Ducks a 2-1 lead.
It stayed that way until the bottom of the sixth when Melky Mesa hit a two-run home run to left off Ducks starter Jake Fisher, putting the Revolution back ahead 3-2. Long Island loaded the bases in the seventh but failed to even the score.
Revolution starter Duke Von Schamann did not factor into the decision but lasted five innings, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five. Orleny Quiroz (2-0) picked up the win after tossing a scoreless sixth inning, striking out two. Fisher (2-4) took the loss, conceding three runs (two earned) on seven hits over six innings with one strikeout. Pat Young picked up his second save of the season with a scoreless ninth.
Vladimir Frias led the Ducks offensively with two hits and a run scored.
