Teter's grand slam powers York to 21-11 rout of FerryHawks

Jacob Teter turned a blazing Wednesday night at WellSpan Park into a rout by crushing a third-inning grand slam, and the York Revolution kept adding to the damage in a 21-11 win over the Staten Island FerryHawks. Nick Dunn went 4-for-4 and scored five runs, and York needed only a few innings to turn a close game into a blowout.

York got moving first when Tomo Otosaka singled and Dunn doubled him home in the opening inning, then Jackson Ross followed with an RBI double for a 2-0 lead. The game broke open in the third, when York loaded the bases on walks and an error and Teter launched a grand slam to left-center, his second of the season. York took a 6-0 lead.

Staten Island tried to answer with power of its own. Gary Mattis hit a three-run homer in the fourth, but York responded immediately with a seven-run inning built around another Teter RBI, Ben Blackwell’s ground-rule double, Mike Rosario’s RBI groundout, another throwing error and Dunn’s RBI single. Matt Hogan’s three-run homer highlighted a four-run sixth, but York answered with four runs of its own in the bottom half.

Teter nearly added another grand slam later, instead settling for a two-run double that pushed his RBI total to seven, one shy of the franchise record. Dunn’s night was just as loud in its own way, with his five runs making him only the fourth player in Revolution history to reach that mark in a game. Every York starter reached safely.

York had beaten Staten Island 15-9 the night before, collecting 19 hits, and earlier in the season swept the FerryHawks in a doubleheader at WellSpan Park, 17-4 and 8-5, in front of 6,466 fans. The Revolution also completed the first six-game sweep in franchise history with an 11-7 win over Staten Island on May 17.

Teter is a 27-year-old left-handed power bat, a 13th-round pick by the Orioles in 2021 and the 2024 American Association Player of the Year.
