DUCKS EARN DOUBLEHEADER SPLIT
(
The Ducks cracked the scoreboard first in game one with newcomer John Rodriguez singling home Juan Francia, who also reached on a single, to take a 1-0 first inning lead.
The Bluefish struck back for four runs in the third, as Steve Moss and Danny Putnam picked up RBI singles while Josh Phelps and Putnam both scored on errors.
Former-Duck Kevin Mannix (1-1) picked up the victory, tossing six innings, allowing three hits and one run while striking out two. Jake Dittler (0-1) suffered the loss, surrendering six runs (three earned) and eight hits with two punch-outs in three and two-thirds innings.
The Ducks exploded for ten runs in game two, putting up two runs in the second inning, four in the fourth, two in the eighth, and two in the ninth. Matt Cavagnaro had a monster game, going three-for-five, with five RBI and a run scored, while Matt Padgett also had a great night at the plate, picking up three hits, a RBI, and two runs.
Joselo Diaz (1-0) earned the victory, tossing five and one-third innings, yielding six hits and one run while striking out three. Riley Shuckerow (0-2) took the loss, lasting just three and two-thirds innings, giving up six runs on seven hits while striking out four.
The Ducks will wrap up their four-game series with the Bluefish as well as their ten-game road trip on Sunday at 2:05 p.m. from The Ballpark at Harbor Yard. Fans can tune into all the action live via streaming webcast at www.liducks.com with Casey Lynn calling the play-by-play.
