Mound Presence
Gómez was lights out on Saturday night. The right-hander did not allow a hit until back-to-back singles in the fourth. After a sac-fly brought home the Baysox only run, Gómez settled back in to not allow another baserunner the rest of his outing. In total, he tossed six innings allowing the one run while striking out 10. Magnus Ellerts tossed two scoreless innings while striking out two. Davis Sharpe struck out one in a scoreless ninth.
Yorman had a night!

Duck Tales
Akron took the early lead in the second inning. Lipscomb lined a one-out double left before Jorge Burgos walked to put runners on first and second. Cameron Barstad lined a single into right to score Lipscomb and put Akron ahead 1-0. After retaking the lead in the fourth, the RubberDucks offense kept rolling in the middle innings. Tyresse Turner singled to open the fifth before advancing to third on a passed ball. Travis Bazzana reached on an error, which allowed Turner to score. In the sixth, Jonah Advincula doubled home Burgos and Turner to make it 5-1 RubberDucks.
