July 10, 2025 - Eastern League (EL)
Akron RubberDucks News Release
The Akron RubberDucks losing streak reaches six straight after the 6-1 loss to the Richmond Flying Squirrels on Thursday night at Canal Park.
Turning Point
Already on top 3-0, Richmond broke the game open in the fifth. Jairo Pomares hit a two-out three-run home run into the bullpens in right-center to make it 6-0 Flying Squirrels.
Mound Presence
Dylan DeLucia ran into trouble early allowing a run in each of the first three innings. The right-hander was able to settle in and finish his night with a perfect fourth to bring his final line at four innings with three runs allowed and three strikeouts. Davis Sharpe worked an inning and allowed three runs. Matt Jachec and Shawn Rapp each tossed two scoreless innings.
Duck Tales
Akron was held to just three hits through the first eight innings but looked to string a rally together in the ninth. Back-to-back walks by Cooper Ingle and Angel Genao followed by a Kahlil Watson single loaded the bases with no outs. Jorge Burgos worked a walk to bring home Ingle and make it 6-1 Richmond. The Flying Squirrels would get a strikeout and a double play to end the game and escape the jam.
