Akron would take the lead in the bottom of the second inning against Erie starter Luke French. Stephen Head led off with a single and Matt Whitney was hit by a pitch to put a pair on with no outs. Ryan Goleski singled to center and the ball got passed centerfielder Casper Wells. The error allowed two runs to score and Goleski to reach third, giving Akron a 2-1 lead. Goleski scored on a Brandon Pinckney groundout to take a 3-1 lead.
Akron extended their lead to three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning. Josh Rodriguez led off with a double and he would score on a two-out single by Wyatt Toregas to put the Aeros ahead 4-1.
