Akron RubberDucks News Release

ERIE, PA - Akron gave up a two-run lead in extra innings on a pair of home runs to fall to Erie 5-4 on Saturday night at Jerry Uht Park. The Aeros (70-70) are now 1-10 in extra inning games this season. Erie (65-75) has now given Akron its fourth straight loss.

The Aeros jumped on top with a run in the second inning when first baseman Miguel Perez doubled to left-center field and crossed home plate three batters later on a ground out by left fielder Lucas Montero. Akron built their lead in the fourth when Montero hit an RBI-single to score Perez again.

Erie responded in the fourth after Brandon Jones scored on a bases-loaded walk and John Murrian hit a sacrifice fly to score Rawley Bishop to tie the game at 2-2.

The Aeros regained control and separated themselves from the SeaWovles in the 10th. With the bases full, Perez reached first base safely on a fielding error by Brent Wyatt that allowed catcher Juan Apodaca and third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall cross home and make the score 4-2.

Murrian then led off with a solo home run to bring the SeaWolves within one. After Matt Mansilla singled, Wyatt ended the game with a walk-off home run to right field on a 3-2 pitch.

Right-handed reliever Omar Aguilar took the loss and fell to 2-7 after giving up the three runs and three hits in the final frame. Cory Hamilton earned the win for Erie and improved to 4-1.

Akron will attempt to end its four-game skid on Sunday as they send right-handed pitcher Steven Wright (2-1, 4.53 ERA) to the mound to square off against Brooks Brown (11-9, 4.35 ERA).
