Erie plated a run in the first. Andre Lipcius poked a one-out single against Joey Cantillo. Lipcius moved to second after Cantillo threw the ball away on a pickoff attempt. Parker Meadows capitalized on the error and plated Lipcius with a single.
Akron pulled ahead 3-1 in the third. Jose Tena reached on a Wenceel Perez error. Brayan Rocchio singled off of Wilmer Flores to bring Tena to third. Flores battled back by striking out George Valera and Jhonkensy Noel but gave up a three-run blast to Micah Pries.
