Akron RubberDucks News Release

The Akron Aeros suffered their third straight loss at home with a 3-2 loss to the visiting Bowie Baysox on Saturday afternoon at Canal Park. The loss drops the Aeros to 5-5 on the young 2010 season.

The Aeros jumped out to an early lead in the first inning when Tim Fedroff walked to start the bottom of the 1st inning. After Fedroff stole second, Matt McBride singled through a hole at shortstop allowing Fedroff to come around and score putting the Aeros up 1-0 after one inning. Aeros starter Ryan Edell continued his early season dominance by pitching six innings and allowing only three hits. Edell's only mistake was in the top of the 4th when he served up a two- out home run to third baseman Brandon Waring. After giving up the home run, Edell finished the day with another two solid innings while striking out a total of five Bowie batters.

The Aeros answered back in the bottom of the sixth inning against Bowie reliever Pedro Beato with a two-out rally of their own. Cord Phelps tied the game when he connected with his second home run of the season which sailed into the right field bleachers making the score 2-2.

The game remained tied until Miguel Abreu singled up the middle, Paco Figueroa laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt and Brandon Waring connected on a single to left-field making the score 3- 2 going into the bottom of the 8th inning.

Edell worked six innings and allowed just three hits and two runs while striking out five. Bryan Price who has struggled at times this season came in and pitched two innings, giving up three runs while walking only one Baysox. Price suffered the loss by allowing one run, on three hits and also issued one walk.
