May 23, 2025 - Eastern League (EL)
Akron RubberDucks News Release


Joe Lampe picked up five hits and scored five runs between the two games to help the Akron RubberDucks to a doubleheader sweep of the Altoona Curve 6-3 and 5-0 on Friday night at Canal Park.

Turning Point

Akron answered Altoona's second inning runs right back in the bottom half of the inning in game one. Lampe doubled before back-to-back walks by Alex Mooney and Michael Turconi loaded the bases. Cooper Ingle lined a two-run double into right center to make it 3-2 RubberDucks. David Fry was robbed of a hit on a hard-hit grounder, but Turconi scored on the play to make it 4-2 Akron.

In game two, the RubberDucks once again got the offense going in the second inning. Dayan Frias singled to open the inning before advancing to third on Lampe's single. After Lampe swiped second, Guy Lipscomb lifted a sac-fly to score Frias and make it 1-0 RubberDucks. Mooney followed with a sac-fly of his own to make it 2-0 Akron.

Mound Presence

Tommy Mace got game one off to a quick start retiring the Curve in order. However, the Curve responded and plated two off of the right hander and chased him in the second inning. In total, Mace worked an inning and two-thirds allowing two runs while striking out two. Jake Miller worked two and a third scoreless innings. Magnus Ellerts struck out three over two scoreless innings. Zane Morehouse allowed a run while striking out three in an inning pitched.

Carter Spivey was dominant in game two tossing four scoreless innings allowing just two hits while striking out two in his first start of the season. Zach Jacobs followed with three scoreless innings and two strikeouts to secure the win.

Duck Tales

Akron got on the board in the first inning of game one when Ingle opened the frame with a double before coming around to score on Kahlil Watson's double. After regaining the lead in the second, the RubberDucks added on in the third when Frias doubled and came around on Lampe's two-run home run to make it 6-2 Akron.

After taking the lead in the second inning of game two, the RubberDucks added some insurance. First in the fourth inning, Lampe singled before coming around on Lipscomb's triple to make it 3-0 RubberDucks. Then in the sixth back-to-back singles by Frias and Lampe set up Lipscomb for a two-run double to make it 5-0 Akron.
