Akron RubberDucks News Release
The Chesapeake Baysox held off a late Akron RubberDucks rally to win 4-2 on Saturday night at Canal Park.
Turning Point
After scoring one run in the bottom of the ninth, the RubberDucks looked to tie the game with a runner on first and two down. But Baysox closer Keagan Gillies got the tying run at the plate to strike out to end the game.
Mound Presence
Rodney Boone got the start and ran into some trouble in the third allowing two runs. The left-hander quickly settled back in to only allow one more baserunner the rest of the way to finish his night at five innings allowing two runs while striking out four. Davis Sharpe allowed two runs over two innings. Ross Carver struck out three over two scoreless innings.
Duck Tales
The RubberDucks broke up the no-hit bid in the fourth when Guy Lipscomb launched a solo home run to make it 2-1 Baysox. Joe Lampe kept the RubberDucks alive in the ninth with an RBI single to make it 4-2 Chesapeake.
