The Game Changed When… The first two Long Island batters were retired in the top of the 4th inning, and then 2 out lightning would strike. The Ducks hit 4 consecutive singles off of Kyle Simon to bring 2 runs home, breaking the scoreless impasse and giving them a 2-0 lead at the time. Those runs would prove to be all that they needed in securing the victory.
