(York, Pa.) - The Long Island Ducks were defeated by the York Revolution 3-2 on Saturday night in the middle game of a three-game series at PeoplesBank Park.

The Ducks took a 2-0 lead in the third inning when Jordany Valdespin scored on a balk by Revolution starter Troy Terzi and Taylor Ard followed later with an RBI double. Ryan Dent brought the Revs to within one in the bottom of the inning with a solo homer to left field off Ducks starter Jake Fisher.

It stayed that way until the bottom of the sixth when the Revolution scored a pair of two-out runs to take a 3-2 lead. Melky Mesa's RBI single and Isaias Tejeda's RBI double did the damage. Long Island put the tying run on base in each of the final three innings of the game but could not pull even.

Terzi did not factor into the decision but pitched five and two-thirds innings, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four. Michael Click (1-0) collected the win after tossing one and one-third scoreless innings of relief, striking out one. Fisher (6-7) took the loss, conceding three runs on five hits over five and two-thirds innings with three strikeouts. Dustin Richardson earned his first save of the year with a scoreless ninth inning, allowing a hit and striking out the side.

Miles Williams led the Flock offensively with three hits.
