Akron RubberDucks News Release
The Akron RubberDucks rally back late, but the Altoona Curve walked it off in the bottom of the ninth to win 3-2 on Sunday afternoon and earn a split of the six-game series at Peoples Natural Gas Field.
Turning Point
After a double play ball left a runner at third and two outs, Mitch Jebb lined a single into left field to score Sammy Siani from third and give Altoona the victory.
Mound Presence
Austin Peterson kept the Curve off the scoreboard for most of the afternoon on Sunday. Altoona got to Peterson for two runs in the second on Wyatt Hendrie's two-run home run. But the right-hander quickly settled back in to finish his outing with 5.2 innings pitched allowing two runs on five hits while striking out four. Jake Miller worked a scoreless inning and a third. Alonzo Richardson tossed a scoreless eighth. Ross Carver got two outs in the ninth before allowing the Jebb single.
Duck Tales
Akron's offense finally cracked the scoreboard late on Sunday. Travis Bazzana opened the sixth inning with a single before stealing second base. Later in the inning, Jorge Burgos singled up the middle to score Bazzana and make it 2-1 Curve. In the ninth inning, Alex Mooney doubled to left before coming around to score on a Joe Lampe single to tie the game 2-2.
