York was one of the best offensive team in the Atlantic League and they showed why tonight hitting 3 homers off Ducks starter Josh Banks. The big blow was a 3-run homer by shortstop Ramon Castro.
Lorenzo Barcelo got the win after tossing six scoreless innings, allowing just five hits and three walks while striking out five.
The final three games of the series will be played at Sovereign Bank Stadium in York, PA.

Tom
I meant to say one of the best, as they were right there with Long Island in most categories. Thanks for catch.
