Akron RubberDucks News Release
Micah Pries and Daniel Schneemann's big games help the Akron RubberDucks power past the Binghamton Rumble Ponies 9-6 in a rain shortened eight innings on Sunday afternoon at Mirabito Stadium.
Turning Point
After falling behind 2-0 in the first, Akron answered back quickly in the top of the second. Daniel Schneemann got the offense going by doubling home Jose Tena to make it 2-1 Binghamton. A batter later, Micah Pries launched a two-run home run just under the video board beyond the right field wall to put Akron up 3-2.
Mound Presence
Xzavion Curry worked around trouble throughout his start as Binghamton put a runner on base against him each inning. In total, Curry tossed four and two thirds' innings allowing four runs on four hits while striking out one. Kevin Coulter followed with an inning and third allowing a run. Jared Janczak tossed a scoreless inning. Kyle Marman got the first two outs of the eighth inning before allowing an RBI double. After the double, the umpires called for the tarp and the game did not resume.
Duck Tales
Akron added onto the lead in the third inning when Will Brennan doubled home George Valera to make it 4-2 RubberDucks. After Binghamton drew a run closer in the bottom of the third, Bo Naylor launched a solo home run in the fourth to make it 5-3 Akron. Schneemann launched a solo home run of his own in the sixth to make it 6-4 Ducks.
