Long Island reached the 7 million fan mark faster than any other team in league history despite having begun play in the ALPB’s third year of existence (2000). The crowd of 6,843 on Saturday was the Ducks’ eighth past - capacity crowd of the year and league-record 671st sold out crowd all-time.

Lancaster put together a three-run third inning against Ducks starter Alfredo Simon to take the first lead of the game. RBI singles by Beau Amaral and Trayvon Robinson along with a sacrifice fly from Sean Halton accounted for the scoring.

NOTABLE NUGGETS

LAST TIME OUT: Henderson Alvarez earned his second win in a row, as the Ducks defeated the Somerset Patriots 3-2 in Tuesday’s series opener. The right-hander threw five innings for the third consecutive outing, giving up just one run on three hits and a walk while striking out three. He threw 67 pitches in the start, 40 of which were strikes. Alvarez’s only blemish was a sacrifice fly by Carlos Guzman in the second inning, which followed a walk and a hit by pitch to begin the frame. HEY NOW, YOU’RE AN ALL-STAR: Alvarez earned a Major League All-Star selection during the 2014 season, representing the National League at Target Field in Minneapolis. Though he did not appear in the game, he was teammates with current Ducks pitcher Alfredo Simon on the NL All-Star roster. Alvarez posted a 12-7 record with a 2.65 ERA and three complete games in 30 starts during the 2014 campaign as a member of the Miami Marlins. His three complete games led the NL, and he totaled the most wins of any Marlins pitcher that year. HISTORY IN MIAMI: On the final day of the 2013 season, Alvarez tossed a no-hitter for the Marlins. The righty threw nine scoreless and hitless innings against the Detroit Tigers, outdueling Justin Verlander in the process. He allowed just three baserunners on a walk, a hit by pitch and an error while striking out four, and he needed just 99 pitches to complete the outing. However, he did not clinch the no-no until the bottom of the ninth when Giancarlo Stanton scored from third base on a wild pitch thrown by Luke Putkonen.

PITCHER TIDBITS Alvarez was originally signed as an international free agent by the Toronto

Blue Jays in 2007.

Spent two seasons in the Major Leagues with the Blue Jays (2011-12) and

three seasons with the Marlins (2013-15).

Selected to consecutive MLB Futures Games in 2011 and 2012.

Earned three straight Mid-Season All-Star honors from 2009 to 2011 in the

Midwest League, Florida State League and Eastern League, respectively.

Part of a 12-player trade in November of 2012 that saw him traded by the

Blue Jays along with Anthony DeSclafani, Yunel Escobar, Adeiny Hechavar-ria, Jake Marisnick, Jeff Mathis and Justin Nicolino to the Marlins for Emilio Bonifacio, John Buck, Mark Buehrle, Josh Johnson, Jose Reyes and cash.
