September 5-8

Rain moved into the area on Labor Day and forced postponement of the ballgame in York, the makeup was scheduled for Wednesday as part of a doubleheader. The rainy conditions stuck around on Tuesday and Wednesday, somehow they managed to get all the games played in spite of the weather. On Thursday the rain was gone and the sun was out, it was a much more pleasant evening for my final visit west in 2022. The Revolution was hosting the Long Island Ducks in the final game of the four-game set looking for a series split. The visitors took a 2-0 lead in the first, the Revolution tied it in the bottom half on a two-run single by Melky Mesa. In the second a base hit by Yefri Perez and two walks loaded the bases, Troy Stokes' sac fly scored Perez with the lead run. Long Island batted around in the third scoring six runs to go up 8-3. Solo home runs from Stokes and J.C. Encarnacion in the fourth brought the Revs to within three, Josue Herrera's two-run shot in the fifth made it an 8-7 game. In the seventh the Ducks batted around for the second time and added three to go up 11-7, the Revs got one one back in the eighth when Stokes doubled and came home on a Lenin Rodriguez sac fly. Two runs in the ninth for Long Island brought the final to 13-8, Josh Norwood started for the Revolution and took the decision. This was in all likelihood my last time in York for the season but we're not done with the Revs just yet, they come east for a series on North Prince Street starting on Tuesday the 14th. Take care, thanks for reading.
