Turning Point
Holding a 1-0 lead in the seventh, the RubberDucks looked to add on. Alex Mooney beat out an infield single and advanced to second on an error to open the inning. Lipscomb followed with a single into left to score Mooney and make it 2-0 Akron. Two batters later, Lipscomb scored from third on a foul popout into the first base dugout to make it 3-0 RubberDucks.
Mound Presence

The left-hander allowed just two hits (a first inning single and fifth inning double) on his way to six scoreless innings and seven strikeouts. Allan Hernandez followed with a scoreless two-thirds of an inning. Davis Sharpe allowed a run over an inning and a third. Ross Carver got two outs in the ninth before leaving with the bases loaded. Zane Morehouse struck out the only batter he faced to escape the bases loaded jam and pick up the save.
