The Aeros scored three in the bottom of the eighth, capped by a two-run single by Ryan Goleski. In the ninth, Akron had the tying run in Jordan Brown at the plate with two outs, but Akron could not manage to score.
Beltran Perez went six innings allowing one run on six hits. He struck out one and walked two for the victory.
Asdrubal Cabrera went 0-for-4 on the afternoon. It is only the 13th time this season that Cabrera has had three or more at-bats and not recorded a hit on the season. He is now 0-10 in his last three games, but still holds a .320 batting average on the season
