(Bridgeport, Conn. - May 31, 2012) - The Bridgeport Bluefish (17-17) suffered a series defeat to the York Revolution (14-18) after the home team lost at The Ballpark at Harbor Yard on Thursday by a score of 9-2.

His second homer in as many nights and his fifth of the year gave Bridgeport the only lead of the evening before York scored the nine of the last ten runs. Peterson collected two hits on the night. Elliott Ayala and Eddie Rogers were the only other Bridgeport players to pick up a hit the rest of the night. Prentice Redman extended his on-base streak to 31 consecutive contests with a walk in the fourth.
York was leading 2-1 heading into the fifth when five Revolution runners came to the plate. Ramon Castro belted a three-run shot to left and drove in four on the night. Later in the inning, with one out, Bobby Kielty smacked a two-run shot to right. The rightfielder drove in three on Thursday in the victory for the road side.
