Published on July 3, 2025 under Eastern League (EL)
Akron RubberDucks News Release
Cooper Ingle homered twice as part of a four hit night as the Akron RubberDucks down the Erie SeaWolves 7-3 to complete the three-game sweep on Thursday night at UPMC Park.
Turning Point
After Erie cut the RubberDucks lead in half to 6-3, Akron looked for some ninth inning insurance. With two outs, Guy Lipscomb lined a double into left-center to keep the inning alive. Jake Fox followed with a double of his own to score Lipscomb and make it 7-3 RubberDucks.
Mound Presence
Rorik Maltrud made his second start off the injured list on Thursday. The right-hander struck out two over two scoreless innings and surrendered just two hits. Steven Pérez followed with three scoreless innings and four strikeouts. Tyler Thornton allowed two runs over an inning and a third. Adam Tulloch allowed one run over the final two and two thirds innings.
Duck Tales
The RubberDucks took the early lead two batters into the game. Ingle opened the game with a double before coming home on Angel Genao's RBI single to make it 1-0 Akron. Ingle quickly stretched the lead to 2-0 in the third with a solo shot deep over right-center wall. Fox singled home Dayan Frias with two outs in the sixth to make it 3-0 Akron. The RubberDucks broke the game open in the seventh. Ingle lined a solo homer over the wall in right to open the seventh inning scoring. After Genao doubled to left-center, Jorge Burgos launched a two-run homer down the line in right to make it 6-0 RubberDucks.
