STATEN ISLAND FERRY HAWKS
MAKE ATLANTIC LEAGUE DEBUT
The first-ever professional baseball game played by the Staten Island Ferry Hawks (...to borrow a phrase) is in the books.
The Richmond County nine opened the season at Charleston, West Virginia, against the Dirty Birds and will make their home debut on Tuesday, May 3, against the Lexington Legends.
Recently acquired Julio Teheran opened the season for Staten Island but walked off to a no-decision. He faced 17 batters, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and one walk with four strikeouts through four innings pitched.
After falling behind 2-0 in the fourth inning, the Ferry Hawks mounted their first-ever rally. First baseman Kacy Clemens led off the top of the fifth with a home run to right field, and with two outs and a runner on first, New York City native and former Mets prospect, Ricardo Cespedes homered to give Staten Island a 3-2 lead.
But it would not last. Charleston scored single runs in the fifth, sixth, and seventh innings that went unanswered by the Ferry Hawks.
