AKRON, OH - The Chesapeake Baysox, the Double-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, were defeated by the Akron RubberDucks, the Double-A affiliate of the Cleveland Guardians, by a final of 4-1 on Thursday night from Canal Park.

Frederick Bencosme homered for a second time in the series with a solo shot in the fifth against Akron starter Austin Peterson (W, 4-2). Bencosme now has six homers on the season and three of them have come against the RubberDucks.

Akron (36-18) scored all four of its runs in the third and fourth innings. After starter Ryan Long (L, 2-3) hit a batter and walked the bases loaded to begin the third, Dayan Frías hit a sacrifice fly to left to plate home the RubberDucks' first run of the game. A wild pitch from Long brought home Akron's second run before an RBI fielder's choice grounder by Cameron Barstad extended the lead to 3-0.

In the fourth, a dropped fly ball in left field and back-to-back walks brought Frías again to the plate, who hit his second sacrifice fly of the game to make it 4-0 Akron.

Peterson delivered a quality start by pitching six innings and allowing the one run on three hits with no walks and seven strikeouts to earn the win.

Yaqui Rivera fanned a season-high five batters in 2.1 innings of relief. The 21-year-old has now collected 32 strikeouts in 19.2 innings in his first season with Chesapeake (24-29).

The start of the game was delayed 43 minutes due to inclement weather.
