RubberDucks Game Recap | Box Score

Akron RubberDucks (20-21) 4, Bowie Baysox (14-26) 1

WP: Hunter Stanley (1-3) LP: Chayce McDermott (3-3) Save: Randy Labaut (1)

Summary

Johnathan Rodriguez and Julian Escobedo launch back-to-back sixth inning home runs to back Hunter Stanley’s seven innings of one run ball to best the Bowie Baysox 4-1 on Thursday night at Canal Park.

Turning Point

After Bowie jumped ahead 1-0, the RubberDucks looked to answer back in the sixth. Bryan Lavastida lined a two-out single to keep the inning alive. Rodriguez followed with a two-run shot to the ribbon board in left to put Akron on top 2-1. Escobedo followed Rodriguez’s homer with a solo home run into the Cutwater Tiki Terrace to make it 3-1 RubberDucks.

Mound Presence

Stanley ran into some early trouble loading the bases with one out in the first, but quickly worked out of the inning getting back-to-back groundouts to avoid damage. The right-hander cruised the rest of his start only allowing one hit, a solo home run, while striking out two. Stanley’s great work on the mound was backed by Escobedo, who made two incredible catches in center. Randy Labaut followed Stanley’s cue by working two scoreless innings to pick up the save.

Duck Tales

Akron added on some insurance in the seventh when Angel Martinez lined a single into center to score Joe Naranjo to make it 4-1 RubberDucks. The RubberDucks offense worked seven walks in the win.

Notebook
