A Weekend Sweep

Bucky Jacobsen and the Long Island Ducks completed a three game sweep of the Camden Riversharks with a 10-4 win Sunday. Bucky went 3-5 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI. His average and on-base percentage rose to .417 and .500 respectively. Yes, it's a small sample size, but hopefully it's a good sign of Bucky being back to old form. But Mike Ashmore of AtlanticLeagueBaseball.com has the Riversharks ranked 7th out of the eight team league in his preseason ranking with weak pitching being the problem.

The Ducks and the rest of the league have the next two days off. The Ducks start a two-game set in Bridgeport against the Bluefish on Wednesday, and then have their home opener on Friday against the Riversharks on Friday. If you are in the area, the Ducks have an average attendance over their capacity! Tickets are still available, with lots of promotions all weekend.
