The York Revolution earned a victory and a chance to grab back the Community Cup on Wednesday evening.

The Revs outslugged the Lancaster Barnstormers, 9-6, in front of 4,018 fans at Clipper Magazine Stadium.

York now owns a 10-9 edge over Lancaster in the War of the Roses series. The two teams will meet in their final regular-season Atlantic League contest on Thursday evening in Lancaster. The team that wins Thursday evening's game will get the Community Cup, which is given to the winner of the annual War of the Roses series.

If York wins Thursday, it will finish with an 11-9 edge over Lancaster in 2012. If Lancaster wins, the 2012 series will end tied at 10-10, but Lancaster will keep the Community Cup because it won the trophy last season.

If Lancaster had beaten the Revs on Wednesday, the Community Cup would have stayed with the Barnstormers for another season.
