SEA DOGS DROP FOURTH STRAIGHT Portland lost their fourth-straight game last night to Akron, 7-6. Trailing the RubberDucks entering the bottom of the sixth, the Sea Dogs started to comeback. With two gone in the inning, James Tibbs III notched a single and then advanced to second on a single from Allan Castro. After a pitching change, Ronald Rosario (2) blasted a three-run home run which cut the Sea Dogs deficit in half 6-3. The RubberDucks tacked on an insurance run in the top of the ninth inning on a solo home run from Guy Lipscomb (4) which gave Akron a 7-3 lead.
RALLY FALLS SHORT With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Ahbram Liendo laced a double and then moved to third on a single by Zach Ehrhard. During the next at-bat, James Tibbs III crushed a two-run double that trimmed the deficit to 7-5. The next batter Allan Castro cracked an RBI double that scored Tibbs III and brought the Sea Dogs to within one run 7-6.
LIENDO FINISHES HOME RUN SHY OF THE CYCLE Ahbram Liendo went three-for-four in last night's loss, a home run shy of the cycle. He started with a triple in the third inning, a single in the seventh and a double in the ninth. Liendo is batting .250 in his last five games with two RBI and a stolen base.
