Erie SeaWolves News Release
The Akron Aeros shut down the Erie SeaWolves on Tuesday night at Jerry Uht Park by a score of 9-1. Akron scored early and often and the âWolves could not combat the top hitting team in the lead.
In the top of the first, Trevor Crowe led off the game with a single and Josh Rodriguez walked against Erie starter Danny Christensen. A flyout by Bronson Sardinha allowed Crowe to advance to third and score on a groundout by Wes Hodges for a 1-0 Akron lead. Stephen Head followed with an RBI double to make it 2-0 Aeros.
Akron would strike again in the top of the second when Ryan Goleski led off with his seventh home run over the wall in left for a 3-0 lead. Wyatt Toregas followed with a double and he would score on a one out sacrifice fly by Rodriguez, putting Akron ahead 4-0.
The SeaWolves cut the lead down to three in the bottom of the fourth when Dusty Ryan hammered his 13th home run of the season to the deepest part of "The Uht" to make it a 4-1 game. It would be the only run Erie would score in the game.
The Aeros would put the game out of reach in the top of the fifth. Crowe led off with a double, his third hit of the game. An error at short off the bat of Rodriguez would put runners on the corners. With one out, Wes Hodges singled home Crowe to put Akron back up by four at 5-1. Head then doubled home a pair for a 7-1 lead. Matt Whitney capped off a four-run inning when he doubled home head for an 8-1 Akron advantage.
Akron finished the night's scoring in the top of the seventh when Head connected on his third hit of the game, a solo home run off of reliever Brendan Wise for an 8-1 lead.
Christensen (5-6) took the loss for the âWolves going 4.1 innings, allowing eight runs, seven earned, on nine hits with two strikeouts and two walks. It was the first time since May 18 where Christensen did not work at least five innings in a ballgame. The eight runs were also the most he has given up this season.
