Harrisburg Senators News Release
The Senators (44-31, 2-3) beat the Akron RubberDucks (34-40, 2-5) 3-2 in 10 innings Monday night, their first walk off win since April. Adrian Sanchez drove in the winning run with an infield hit, scoring Hunter Jones. Taylor Guilbeau and Ronald Pena kept the game tied by retiring the final 13 RubberDucks to come to the plate. With the win the Sens have won back-to-back games for the first time since June 2 & June 4.
Turning Point
In the top of the sixth, the Sens were leading 2-0 but Akron scored a run, then loaded the bases with one out. Taylor Guilbeau came out of the bullpen and allowed a game tying single, but then induced Logan Ice to hit into an inning ending double play. Guilbeau and Pena would go on to retire the next 12 batters.
On Capitol Hill
- Tyler Mapes worked 5.1 innings, throwing 87 pitches, 52 strikes and earning a no-decision. Mapes threw 13 ground ball outs. He was hurt in the sixth inning by a key error that allowed Akron to load the bases, instead of being an inning ending double play.

With the Gavel
