LAST GAME
The SeaWolves did not capitalize enough on their scoring chances on Tuesday night, dropping their series opener to the Akron RubberDucks 5-3. The SeaWolves stranded 11 runners across the night, including six runners in scoring position. Josh Lester extended his hit streak to four games while driving in a pair of runs, and Jesus Rodriguez was hit for three home runs across 5.2 innings. Will Benson smacked a leadoff home run in the first inning to set the tone of the game, and Rodriguez surrendered another pair of long balls in the third inning by Steven Kwan and Richie Palacios. Erie made a late push to rally when Josh Lester doubled in a pair of runs in the eighth inning to cut the deficit to one run, but Lester was stranded at third base. Erie again got the tying run on base with no outs in the ninth inning, but couldn't advance the runners.
