Ferry Hawks Get Their Feathers Ruffled By Flock
The Flock returned to the boroughs to resume their New York rivalry with the Ferry Hawks.
Long Island right-hander Scott Harkin and four bullpen members joined in hurling a gem. Harkin faced 19 batters, throwing 65 pitches with an efficient 46 (70.7%) going for strikes. He allowed no runs on four hits and one walk with a pair of strikeouts over five innings for the win. Harkin improved to 5-6 with a lowered 3.75 ERA over 72.0 innings. Four relievers limited the Ferry Hawks to four hits and no walks over the final four innings to preserve the shutout.
The Ducks scored four runs off Staten Island starter Dakota Freese, who struggled with control. First baseman Sam Travis scored on a fielder's choice in the second. Designated hitter Alejandro De Aza and Sam Travis singled and delivered home runs in the third. In the fifth, Dakota Freese walked the bases loaded, and center fielder Rusney Castillo followed with a sac-fly to right field scoring Long Island's final run of the night. Freese allowed four hits but walked six in a losing effort. Boxscore
Hoping our Ducks (and @AtlanticLg) fam had as spectacular a #FourthofJuly as this!
