CENTRAL ISLIP, NY – The Long Island Ducks were defeated by the Lancaster Barnstormers on Tuesday 6-4 before a packed house of 6,210 at Citibank Park.

The ‘Stormers sent eight men to the plate in the first, with Ian Bladergroen and Matt LeCroy delivering back-to-back home runs. In the ninth, Brian Munhall’s single plated the go-ahead run, while Lloyd Turner’s two-run triple gave the visitors some much-needed breathing room. Jamie Pogue came through in the second for the Ducks with a two-run double to get the club on the board, and P.J. Rose tied the game in the fifth with an RBI double of his own. Damian Rolls homered in the ninth to extend his hitting streak to 18 games.
