Turning Point

It was Krieger's third triple of the year and extended his hit streak to five games.
Mound Presence

Duck Tales 
The RubberDucks scored in each of the first three innings against Crowe. In the first, Calica managed to scamper home from third when Krieger got caught in a rundown on a failed stolen base attempt. Sam Haggerty added a sacrifice fly in the second inning to make it 2-0. Krieger and Jodd Carter finished with two hits apiece.
