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 7,038 on August 5 was the Ducks’ seventh past - capacity crowd of the year and league-record 670th sold out crowd all-time. Another Barnburner: Tonight marks the 15th meeting of the season along with the 248th all-time meeting between the Ducks and Barnstormers. Lancaster leads the all-time series 124-123, but Long Island has a 65-55 advantage at Bethpage Ballpark. The Barnstormers lead the 2017 season series 9-5 and they have taken five of eight meetings thus far on Long Island. Starting Strong: The Ducks’ starting rotation has helped fuel the team’s success over the past two weeks. In Long Island’s past 14 games, Ducks starters have posted five quality starts along with a 2.51 ERA (22 earned runs in 79 innings). Matt Larkins has led the way with two complete games and three victories during the stretch, giving up just four earned runs in 22 innings. Henderson Alvarez has a pair of wins and back-to-back starts allowing one run over five innings in each. Grand Fashion: After going their first 107 games this season without hitting a grand slam, the Ducks have launched two in the past two days (three games). Giovanny Alfonzo clubbed Long Island’s first slam of the season in game one of Wednesday’s doubleheader, and Marc Krauss launched another grand slam on Thursday night. The Ducks hit two grand slams during the 2016 campaign, both coming off the bat of Tyler Colvin (5/25 vs. Bridgeport and 7/21 vs. Bridgeport). Fonzie’s On Fire: Giovanny Alfonzo earned a single and two walks on Thursday night. The infielder has now reached base safely in nine consecutive games dating back to August 8. During the streak, he is batting .333 (10-for-30), with a pair of doubles, one homer, seven RBI, six runs and three walks. The Amazing Amalio: Amalio Diaz earned his 11th save of the season Thursday night. The reliever has now given up just two runs over his past 14 appearances out of the bullpen (1.35 ERA). In 13 and one-third innings during that span, the righty has allowed just 10 hits and four walks while striking out 16 batters. He has also collected a win and eight saves during those 14 games. Franchise Record: The Long Island Ducks earned their 12th consecutive win in game one on Wednesday before seeing their winning streak come to an end in game two. The streak tied the franchise record for the longest winning streak, equaling the 12-game stretch from July 5-20 of 2006. During the 2017 streak, the Ducks outscored their opponents 68-34 and out-hit their opponents 111-89. 6:35 p.m. | Bethpage Ballpark (6,002) | Central Islip, N.Y.

Ducks starter Rafael Perez did not factor into the decision, giving up a hit and a walk in two innings with one strikeout. Mesa (1-0) collected the win despite giving up three runs on three hits and two walks in two innings of work.

TONIGHT’S STARTING PITCHER

NOTABLE NUGGETS LAST TIME OUT: Jake Dunning earned his first win as a Duck in his first start with the team, as the Ducks defeated the Blue Crabs 9-5 on Saturday. The righty pitched a season-high five innings, giving up three hits and a walk. He threw a season-most 48 pitches, 37 of which were strikes. Dunning began his night by retiring the first six batters he faced, and all three hits he allowed were singles. Long Island gave him a 3-0 lead in the third and added six more runs in the sixth. A MAN WHO CAN DO BOTH: Dunning began his collegiate career at Florida Community College of Jacksonville, where he played both shortstop and pitcher. Upon transferring to Indiana University, Dunning continued to be a two-way player, hitting .308 in 57 games in 2009. He helped to lead the Hoosiers to the Big Ten Tournament championship that season and was named to the All-Tournament team at shortstop. FAMILIAR FACES: When Jake Dunning arrived to Long Island in mid-July, he was greeted by a familiar face in Ducks catcher Alex Burg. Dunning and Burg came up through the San Francisco Giants organization together in the early 2010’s. Though no longer with the team, injured LHP Jack Snodgrass played with the pair in the Giants system as well.

PITCHER TIDBITS

Began the season pitching in the Chicago White Sox organization, making a

total of 14 appearances between Triple-A Charlotte of the International League and Double-A Birmingham of the Southern League.

Was originally drafted by the San Francisco Giants in the 33rd round of the

2009 MLB Draft out of Indiana University.

Made his MLB debut on June 16, 2013 against the Atlanta Braves at Turner

Field. Dunning logged a scoreless inning of relief against the Braves.

Younger brother, Dane Dunning, is a top pitching prospect in the Chicago

White Sox organization, currently pitching for the Advanced-A Winston-Salem Dash of the Carolina League. Dane was traded by the Washington Nationals along with RHP Lucas Giolito to Chicago in exchange for CF Adam Eaton this past winter. vs. LHH: .333 vs. RHH: .135
