Staten Island FerryHawks News Release


STATEN ISLAND, NY - For the fourth straight game, the FerryHawks were bested by just one run, edged by the Revolution 1-0 in Tuesday's series opener at Staten Island University Hospital Community Park. The loss extends Staten Island's losing skid to nine games, despite the fact that seven have been decided by just one tally.

After a scoreless first inning, York scratched across the game's only run in the second inning before leading the rest of the way. Carlos Franco led off the frame with a hard hit ground ball to second base which was corralled by Brandon Wagner. His throw to first though, was off line, allowing Franco to reach on an E-4. After a one-out fielders choice allowed Jack Kenley to swap spots with Franco, Connor Lien singled to put two aboard for Paul Mondesi. In what would end up being his only at-bat (removed due to injury), Mondesi singled home Kenley to put the Revolution ahead 1-0.

Solter (0-2) would allow just two more hits the entire evening, lasting seven innings allowing just the one unearned run. He struck out four, walked one, and has now allowed one run or fewer in each of his six starts this season.

The FerryHawks offense had to deal with a bevy of Revolution pitchers on Tuesday after starter Alex Sanabia was removed due to injury in the fourth inning. The former Major Leaguer was good in his 3.2 innings, whiffing five and coughing up just two hits. Jhoendri Herrera was first to replace Sanabia, tossing 1.1 scoreless frames to get York through the fifth inning.

Alberto Rodriguez (2-1) hurled a perfect sixth inning to preserve the 1-0 lead, eventually garnering his second win of the 2022 campaign.

The combination of Rodriguez, Josh Martin, Adrian Almeida, and Jim Fuller allowed just one hit over the game's final four innings. The quartet struck out five without walking anyone. Fuller worked a perfect ninth, with two strikeouts, for his fifth save of the year.

Joe Kuzia, Alex Katz, and Eddy Reynoso preserved the one-run deficit by blanking the Revs in the eighth and ninth innings.
