York belted a trio of three-run homers, and the Revs had three innings of five or more runs on Friday evening to drub the Lancaster Stormers, 18-7, in the opener of a three-game series at WellSpan Park.

Carsie Walker (2-4) picked up the first out in the third before allowing consecutive singles to Matt McDermott, Rudy Martin, Jr. and Donovan Casey to produce the first run. The second scored on a wild pitch before Jacob Rhinesmith unloaded a three-run homer to right.

York would strike for five again the in fourth inning. Walker issued bases on balls to the first two batters, then McDermott bunted for a base hit. Consecutive fielder's choices produced a run each. David Washington extended the inning with a single to center before Colton Welker crushed a home run to left center as the lead blew open to 10-2.

Lancaster narrowed the gap with three runs in the top of the fifth inning on singles by Justin Farmer, Kyle Kasser and Shawon Dunston, Jr. and a sacrifice fly by Trace Loehr. Over the next full inning, the teams exchanged single runs before York struck for seven two-out runs in the bottom of the sixth, the final three on an opposite field homer by Martin.

Jack Labosky (3-2) will make the start for Lancaster on Saturday evening against York's Michael Horrell (2-2). Fans may tune into FloBaseball, beginning at 6:25.
