Akron RubberDucks News Release
The Akron RubberDucks dropped a 9-2 decision to the Harrisburg Senators on Sunday afternoon at FNB Field. Harrisburg struck for four runs in the first inning and scored in five different frames, while limiting Akron to two runs on five hits to take four of six in the series.
Turning Point
Harrisburg seized control in the first inning after Akron scored an unearned run to open the game. Following a leadoff walk, third baseman Cayden Wallace launched a two-run home run to right field, and the Senators added two more runs in the inning to take a 4-1 lead that they would not relinquish.
Mound Presence
Akron right-hander Dylan DeLucia was charged with four runs while recording two outs in the first two innings, and Harrisburg added five more runs against five Akron relievers. Right-handers Jay Driver (2), Reid Johnston (1 1/3), Hunter Stanley (1 1/3), Jack Carey (1 2/3), and Zane Morehouse (1) combined for 7 1/3 innings of relief.
Duck Tales
Akron's first run scored on a balk by left-hander Jackson Kent in the first inning after center fielder Nick Mitchell walked, stole third base, and crossed the plate. Designated hitter Alfonsin Rosario accounted for the RubberDucks' second run with a solo home run to left field in the third inning, his team-high third of the season. Right fielder Joe Lampe finished 2-for-4 and stole a base, while first baseman Ralphy Velazquez added a single and a walk.
