Duenas surrendered two hits, didn’t issue a walk and he struck out three batters.
Connor Green singled and drove in one run on a sac fly.
Mario Catalan went 2-for-4, including an RBI double in the third inning to give Citrus a 2-1 lead.
Matthew Santiago walked twice and scored.
Andrew Granados was saddled with the loss after allowing five runs on seven hits over his four innings of work.

The Lancers took advantage of three Citrus errors to the tune of four unearned runs.
