Akron RubberDucks News Release


Dayan Frias singled in the bottom of the ninth to complete the comeback and give the Akron RubberDucks the 3-2 walk-off win over the Bowie Baysox on Sunday afternoon at Canal Park.

Turning Point

After Bowie took the lead in the top of the eighth, Akron answered in the ninth. Aaron Bracho and Micael Ramirez each walked to open the frame before a Bowie error on Joe Lampe's bunt loaded the bases with no outs. Milan Tolentino doubled off the top of the wall in right to score Bracho and tie the game. Frias then launched a deep fly ball into center that plated Lampe to give Akron the 3-2 win.

Mound Presence

Aaron Davenport was lights out for Akron. The right-hander did not allow a hit until the fourth on his way to four and two-third scoreless innings with nine strikeouts. Davis Sharpe allowed a home run and struck out one over a third of an inning. Jack Leftwich and Tyler Thornton each struck out two in their respective scoreless innings. Bradley Hanner allowed a run over a third of an inning. Magnus Ellerts struck out two over a scoreless inning and two-thirds.

Duck Tales

Akron scored the game's first run back in the fourth inning. Petey Halpin opened the inning with a single before advancing to second on a passed ball. After back-to-back flyouts, Bracho lined a single into center to score Halpin and give the RubberDucks the 1-0 lead.
