Bridgeport, CT – July 12, 2004 – The Bridgeport Bluefish tied the Long Island  Ducks, 3-3, in front of 1,794 fans at the Ballpark at Harbor Yard. 

Jose Amado hit a three run homerun over the left field wall to put the  Bluefish ahead 3-0 early in the bottom of the first inning.  Amado drove in  both Gustavo Escobar, who had reached on a mishandled hit to Ducks shortstop  Kevin Baez, and Keith Lu’uloa, who survived a full count with eight  consecutive foul balls to eventually be walked by Ducks starter, Bill  Pulsipher.

The Ducks scored two runs in the top of the third when Justin Davies singled  to score Kevin Baez who led off with a double, and Kimera Bartee scored on a  single by Doug Jennings, to make the score 3-2.  Long Island tied the game in  the top of the eighth inning when Cole Liniak hit a solo homerun over the left  field wall. 

The game was called after a one hour and thirty-six minute rain delay.  The  decision was made by Joe Klein, Executive Director of the Atlantic League to  play a new nine-inning game in its entirety on Monday August 9 at 7:05 p.m. at  the Ballpark at Harbor Yard.  Bluefish season ticket and mini-plan holders  will receive complementary tickets for the “One Game For The Championship”.
