Kahlil Watson lined a double into the gap to score two and make it 5-2 Akron. Jorge Burgos then launched a three-run home run into Homerville to make it 8-2 Akron. Guy Lipscomb capped the big inning by singling and coming around to score later in the frame on a Turconi fielder's choice.

Mound Presence

Trenton Denholm ran into trouble in one inning on Friday. The right-hander allowed four straight hits in the second inning and two runs to score before settling back in to only allow one run and three hits the rest of his night. In total, Denholm worked six innings allowing three runs while striking out four. Tyler Thornton worked a scoreless seventh. Zach Jacobs worked a scoreless eighth and ninth.
