Akron RubberDucks News Release
The Richmond Flying Squirrels rallied back in three different innings including putting up four in the bottom of the 10th to beat the Akron RubberDucks 6-5 in extra innings on Thursday night at CarMax Park.
Turning Point
After Akron put up three in the top of the 10th, Richmond came alive in the bottom half. A sac-fly by Jean Carlos Sio and doubles by Jack Payton and Diego Velasquez plated four runs and gave Richmond the 6-5 win.
Mound Presence
Jack Campbell worked around traffic most of the night. The Flying Squirrels got a runner on in every inning against the right-hander, but he was able to keep Richmond off the board through the first three innings. The Flying Squirrels got two one with two outs to chase Campbell in the fourth. Sean Matson allowed the game tying double, but an excellent relay throw by Alex Mooney cut down the go-ahead run at the plate. In total, Campbell worked 3.2 innings allowing one run while striking out four. Matson worked 1.1 scoreless innings. Matt Jachec fanned five over two scoreless innings. Alaska Abney allowed an unearned run over two innings. Reid Johnston allowed four runs (three earned) in extras.
