DUCKS TOP REVS
Ducks bang out 10 hits to even series
(York, Penn., June 29, 2010) –The Long Island Ducks defeated the York Revolution 4-3 Tuesday night at Sovereign Bank Stadium.
After the Revolution claimed the first run in the home first, the Ducks took their first lead of the contest with Matt Esquivel’s two-run blast in the visitor’s second.
York quickly tied it in the subsequent inning as Liu Rodriguez’ RBI single knotted the game at two. The score remained the same until the home sixth when James Shanks hit a solo homer over the left-center field wall to give the ‘Revs a 3-2 lead.
Long Island regained the lead with a two-spot in the top of the seventh. Dustan Mohr’s RBI single tied the game at three and Esquivel’s RBI single through the right side gave the Ducks a 4-3 advantage.
Ducks’ starter Jerome Gamble (2-0) picked up the win, firing six innings, allowing six hits and two runs with eight strikeouts. Jim Heuser (1-1) was charged with the loss, surrendering two runs in his inning of relief. Ricardo Gomez bridged the gap, with one and two-thirds innings of scoreless relief, to Kane Davis, who picked up a four-out save, his 12th of the season.
Brendan Monaghan, Matt Cavagnaro and Esquivel each chipped in with two hits apiece.
