A Bad Inning Means A Ducks Loss
By Brian Bohl on May 30, 2010
CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y.— The Ducks have been limited to five relievers at times in the bullpen, putting the pressure on the starting rotation to go deep into games. Conventional wisdom would suggest a patient approach for Southern Maryland to drive up the pitch count and face overworked relievers. But Southern Maryland employed an aggressive strategy [...]
Ducks Restock With Cates
By Brian Bohl on July 29, 2009
CENTRAL ISLIP, NY— The Ducks endured losing its staff ace when Ken Ray’s hot started landed him a minor league contract with Cleveland’s organization in May. While the Ducks didn’t win the first half division crown, quality pitching propelled the club to a first-place start in the second half. But the Ducks will need to [...]
A New Duck Team Takes The Field Behind the Kid
By Brian Bohl on April 23, 2009
CENTRAL ISLIP, NY- Gary Carter already owns a championship ring and the honor of being one of just 16 Hall of Fame catchers.

Gary Carter Named Manager of Long Island Ducks
By Joe McDonald on November 8, 2008
Gary Carter won’t get his dream job of managing the Mets this coming season, but he may have gotten a close second. Instead of being in the dugout of Citi Field, the Hall of Fame catcher will manage at Citibank Park, taking the helm of the Long Island Ducks. “As we head into our 10th [...]
Ducks Drop Game 1, 5-1
By Brian Bohl on September 24, 2008
CENTRAL ISLIP, NY — Four years ago to the day, Lance Davis pitched the best game in his Ducks career, going 7 2/3 innings as the Flock won a one-run game to advance to the championship round en route to the organization’s only Atlantic League title. Davis—the only Duck remaining from the 2004 squad—couldn’t find [...]
Ducks Break Streak
By Brian Bohl on September 12, 2008
CENTRAL ISLIP, NY — When the Ducks collectively drove to the ballpark Sunday morning, the playoff picture looked murky. Six losses in the past seven games, including a three-game losing streak, cut the Flock’s lead in the Liberty Division standings to just a half-game entering a doubleheader against York. But Randy Leek helped the [...]

By Mark Krulish on August 24, 2008
NEWARK, NJ – The Newark Bears are finding new ways to win ball games. For most of the year, Newark pounded the opposition with a barrage of hits and home runs, pouring on the runs with a superior lineup.

Home Cooking For the Ducks
By Brian Bohl on August 21, 2008
CENTRAL ISLIP, NY— The Ducks should hope for a bus drivers strike. Or maybe petition the Atlantic League to reschedule all games for Citibank Park. Carl Everett continued his meteoric rise up the offensive leader-boards, driving in two runs to support Lance Davis’ season-best effort as the Ducks swept the Somerset Patriots via a 6-0 [...]
Sandora Helps Ducks Take Game 2
By Brian Bohl on August 19, 2008
CENTRAL ISLIP, NY — Providing the Ducks with extra outs can be the death-knell of opponents right now. Somerset flubbed two routine ground balls in the third inning Monday night. Consider that the key to failure, as the Ducks capitalized by scoring five runs en route to a 13-4 blowout victory over Somerset in Game [...]
Ducks Win Game 1 Behind Everett
By Brian Bohl on August 19, 2008
CENTRAL ISLIP, NY — Clutch hitting, good pitch and stellar defense can sometimes be more effective than a 10-run inning. The Ducks adhered to that sentiment last night, as backup catcher Rob Sandora continued his hot hitting by delivering the game-winning single for a 3-2 victory in Game 1 of a twinight doubleheader against Somerset [...]
