BATTLE of NEW YORK
vs.
Flock Stages Stunning Comeback at The Pond
The Ferry Hawks appeared well on their way toward tying the series out on Long Island. They broke out with three runs in the first inning against Ducks starter Stephen Tarpley, who would fail to pitch out of the third. After allowing three runs on three hits and one walk in just 2.1 innings pitched, he was relieved.
Right-hander Hunter Claudelle likewise allowed three runs on three hits and four walks in relief of Tarpley, and the Ferry Hawks led 6-0 through three and a half innings of play.
But Staten Island would soon regret leaving the bases loaded in the top of the fourth.
Long Island stunningly rallied for ten runs in the bottom half of the frame, highlighted by Johnni Turbo's three-run home run giving Long Island a 7-6 lead and another three-run home run off the bat of Sam Travis, making it a 10-6 game.
Staten Island recovered a single run in the fifth and added two more in the seventh but ultimately finished a run short.
Second-year Duck Dylan Peiffer earned the win with 1.1 innings pitched, and Tyler Webb pitched a scoreless ninth for the save.
Ferry Hawk starter and Bronx native Anthony Rodriguez allowed six runs (five earned) on seven hits and two walks in 3.0 innings pitched but escaped with a no-decision. Right-hander Eddy Reynoso
yielded both Long Island home runs and got tagged with the loss.
Staten Island right fielder Rymer Liriano went 2 for 4 with a double and four runs batted in. Second baseman Alfredo Reyes was 3 for 6 with a triple, one run batted in, and twice scored. BOXSCORE
