Turning Point
With Akron leading, 6-5, in the bottom of the ninth inning, designated hitter Josh Breaux hit a leadoff double to left field against right-hander Bradley Hanner. Left fielder Baron Radcliff hit a game-tying double to left field, and after shortstop Trevor Schwecke singled to right field, Wilson delivered his walk-off single to deep center field for a 7-6 Reading win.
Mound Presence
Akron right-hander Tommy Mace allowed a two-out, two-run homer in the first inning to third baseman Otto Kemp before holding Reading without another run through the fourth inning. He allowed another two-out, two-run homer to second baseman Robert Moore in the fifth inning that made it 4-0. Mace retired the first two batters of the sixth inning before departing after 5 2/3 innings, allowing six hits and no walks with four strikeouts. Right-hander Jack Leftwich got the final out of the sixth inning, but he allowed Radcliff’s game-tying home run in the seventh. Right-hander Mason Hickman worked around a hit in a scoreless eighth inning, before Hanner began the ninth.
Duck Tales
Akron went scoreless through six innings against Reading left-hander Matt Osterberg. In the seventh, with right-hander Efrain Contreras inheriting a 4-0 lead, designated hitter C.J. Kayfus hit a one-out double, center fielder Petey Halpin reached on a third-strike wild pitch, and right fielder Alexfri Planez hit an RBI single, before Bracho hit a two-run double. With two outs, Huff hit a 372-foot, go-ahead, two-run home run to right-center field off right-hander Carlos Francisco. In a 5-5 tie in the ninth, Bracho drilled a 405-feet homer to right-center field for a 6-5 advantage.
