Akron Drops Sunday Finale 3-2 in Extras
August 25, 2024 - Eastern League (EL)
Akron RubberDucks News Release
Kody Huff picked up three hits, but the Harrisburg Senators took down the Akron RubberDucks 3-2 in 10 innings on Sunday afternoon at Canal Park.
Turning Point
Robert Hassell III won the foot race with Lenny Torres Jr. to first base to beat out the two-out grounder and allow Cody Wilson to score to give Harrisburg the 3-2 lead in the top of the 10th.
Mound Presence
Aaron Davenport pitched well for Akron in his Sunday start. The right-hander worked around traffic most of the afternoon, but only surrendered two runs (first inning solo homer and fourth inning RBI double) on his way to five innings with five strikeouts. Mason Hickman, Jack Leftwich and Ross Carver each worked a scoreless frame. Torres Jr. allowed an unearned run over two innings pitched.
Duck Tales
Akron's only runs came in the bottom of the third. Aaron Bracho opened the inning with a single before advancing to third on Kahlil Watson's single. Huff lined a single into center to plate Bracho and tie the game 1-1. Later in the inning, Dayan Frias lifted a sac-fly to center to score Watson and make it 2-1 RubberDucks.
