The Long Island Ducks defeated the Camden Riversharks 13-5 on Saturday night before a past-capacity crowd of 6,112 at Bethpage Ballpark.
The Riversharks lit the scoreboard first on a RBI single to left by Chris Caves in the second inning against Ducks starter Randy Keisler. Long Island responded with six runs in the bottom of the frame off Camden starter Humberto Sanchez, knocking him out of the game. 10 men came to the plate, as Lew Ford’s RBI infield single, back-to-back two-run singles by Dan Lyons and Kraig Binick, and a sac fly to right from Brandon Sing did the damage.
Ford kept the offense going with a solo homer to left in the third, and Ryan Garko added a two-run blast to left in the fourth to increase the lead to 9-2. After a three-run seventh from Camden cut the lead to five, Long Island added two in the seventh and one in the eighth to put the game away. Bases loaded walks to Binick and Bryant Nelson along with a sac fly from James McOwen rounded out the scoring.
Keisler (1-0) earned the win, tossing five innings, allowing two runs on nine hits with three strikeouts. Sanchez (1-1) took the loss, surrendering six runs (five earned) on five hits and three walks in one and one-third innings.
Garko and Ford each had three hits to lead the Flock, while Binick and Lyons chipped in with two. Binick led the way with three RBI while Garko’s three runs paced the offensive attack.

In Which The City Of Bridgeport Conspires To Give Me Hypothermia.
Note to self: Bridgeport in April is a miserable place to watch a baseball game.
Thursday night, the Camden Riversharks began the 2012 season by blowing a four run lead and eventually losing 9-7 to the Bridgeport Bluefish. Starter Mike McGuire surrendered five runs on seven hits in just over 5 innings of work, but the line of the night came from his relief, Mike Mehlich. Lasting 1/3 of an inning, Mehlich gave up 6 runs on 4 hits, walking FOUR BATTERS before being yanked for Zach Hammes.
ABL MVP and all around big deal Brian Burgamy went 3 for 4, and Jake "Von" Eigsti went 2 for 4 with a double, 3 RBI and a run scored. That covers just about all the good news from game one of this series.
It rained off and on for the entire game, making for a miserable night in the stands. Luckily, there were virtually no Bluefish fans to be found. Paid attendance was somewhere around 700, in a stadium that seats over 5,000. It would've been funny if it wasn't so sad. Yeah, I get it, a weekday night, with miserable weather, but this is your HOME OPENER we're talking about, 'Fish.
Game 2, on Friday, wasn't hampered by rain. But it was bloody FREEZING in Bridgeport tonight.
Starter Sean Jarrett went 5 strong innings, and the offense blew up. Felix Pie hit a 2 run dinger in the 5th to put Camden up 4-0, and Drew Macias hit a bases clearing triple in the 7th to make it 7-0 Sharks. Shea Harris plated another run in the 8th with an RBI double.
Macias wasn't done. In the 9th he launched his first homer of the season over the centerfield wall to make the score 9-0. The bullpen combined for four shutout innings and the Sharks have their first win of 2012.

I swear to God, I'll update this blog shortly.
Hiya.
Long time, no rhyme.
I'm headed to Bridgeport to see our Sharks take on the Bluefish this Thursday and Friday. This blog isn't dead, it was on hot stove life support all winter. But now I'm back, recaps, pics and witty banter to follow.
