Summary
Akron's Tyler Krieger cracked a go-ahead, RBI triple in the eighth inning, and Bobby Bradley drilled his league-best 19^th homer, as the RubberDucks slipped by the Harrisburg Senators, 7-5, Wednesday afternoon at FNB Field in Harrisburg PA.

Turning Point
The RubberDucks (56-40) snapped a 5-5 tie when he tripled to center field with two outs in the eighth inning against Austen Williams (2-3). His drive just eluded the glove of center fielder Hunter Jones and drove in Andrew Calica to give the RubberDucks a 6-5 lead. Krieger then scored on a wild pitch to extend the lead to 7-5.
Mound Presence
Cole Sulser (2-0) picked up the win in relief by striking out all five batters he faced. Sulser stranded the potential go-ahead run on third base when he entered in the sixth inning. Henry Martinez took over in the eighth and pitched 1.2 scoreless innings. Argenis Angulo came in to get the final out and struck out Carter Kieboom to seal the win and notch his eighth save.
Duck Tales
Krieger was 3-5 on the afternoon, extending his hitting streak to 13 games. He's hitting .385 during the streak. He also lined a two-run double during Akron's four-run sixth-inning rally when they tied the game, 5-5. Bradley socked a solo homer off Harrisburg starter Jaron Long in the second inning, part of Bradley's three-hit day. The homer was his 19^th, which moves him into a tie for the EL lead. Mark Mathias also recorded three hits for the Ducks.
