WP: Ben Krauth (1-0) LP: Diogensis Almengo (0-1) Save: None
Summary
Rallying from down 5-0 through seven innings, the RubberDucks came back to walk off the Bowie Baysox, 6-5, on Bo Naylor’s two-out, ninth-inning RBI single that won Game 3 and earned Akron a sweep of the Double-A Northeast Championship Series at Canal Park Friday night. The sixth championship in Akron franchise history was its first since 2016 and the first clinched at home since 2009.
Turning Point
In the bottom of the ninth, Will Brennan launched a leadoff 430-foot solo home run to right field to tie the game, 5-5. After a walk to Brayan Rocchio, a sacrifice by José Fermín, two intentional walks and a popout, Bo Naylor lined a two-out single down the right-field line for the 6-5 win.
BOT 9: TIED! @Silly_Willy18 with an no-doubt bomb to tie us up!

Mound Presence
Konnor Pilkington allowed a leadoff walk to start the game before settling in and retiring the next nine in a row, including seven by strikeout. In total, Pilkington tossed five innings, allowing two unearned runs in the fifth inning on one hit while striking out nine batters, tying his season high. Thomas Ponticelli allowed one run in one inning. Tim Herrin allowed two runs while striking out three in a one-inning Akron debut. Manuel Alvarez and Ben Krauth each went a scoreless inning.
TOP 3: Good morning, good afternoon and good night! @KPilk48 strikes out the side in the third to give him 7 for the game!

Duck Tales
Trailing 5-0, Akron finally cracked the scoreboard in the bottom of the eighth. Fermín drew a one-out walk on 11 pitches, and after singles by Bryan Lavastida and George Valera, Jonathan Engelmann hit a ground ball to the second baseman Cadyn Grenier, who threw the ball away past second base, allowing Fermín and Lavastida to score and cut the lead to 5-2. Two batters later, José Tena hit a two-run single to right-center field to trim the Baysox lead to 5-4. Akron started the game 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position but went 3-for-7 in such situations in the eighth and ninth.
BOT 8: Don’t call it a comeback! A throwing error allows two to score!
