Akron RubberDucks (33-16) 8, Somerset Patriots (23-25) 7
WP: Davis Sharpe (3-3) LP: Mason Vinyard (1-2) Save: Magnus Ellerts (3)
Summary
RubberDucks designated hitter Kahlil Watson, shortstop Dayan Frías and left fielder Joe Lampe each had multi-hit games, while Akron scored seven two-out runs and escaped a bases-loaded-no-out jam in the ninth inning for an 8-7 victory over the Somerset Patriots in the fourth game of a six-game series at TD Bank Ballpark Friday night.
Turning Point
After the Patriots erased Akron’s 4-0 lead with two runs each in the third and fourth innings, the RubberDucks responded in the top of the fifth inning against right-hander Mason Vinyard. Frías hit a one-out single to left field and went to second base on a groundout. He stole third base, center fielder Jake Fox walked and stole second base, and right fielder Guy Lipscomb grounded a two-out, two-run single to center field for a 6-4 RubberDucks lead.

Mound Presence
Right-hander Austin Peterson began with two scoreless innings but walked two batters in the third inning, and both scored on a two-out throwing error by Frías. In the fourth, Peterson allowed a homer to first baseman Tyler Hardman homered, a triple to left fielder Cole Gabrielson and a game-tying single to shortstop Alexander Vargas before being lifted after 3 1/3 innings, allowing four runs – two earned – on four hits and three walks with five strikeouts. Right-hander Davis Sharpe got five outs while Akron rebuilt its four-run lead to 8-4, before Hardman hit his second home run in the sixth inning. Right-hander Ross Carver allowed a two-run double to center fielder Garrett Martin in the seventh but struck out the side in the eighth. Right-hander Magnus Ellerts walked two batters and hit a third to load the bases with no outs in the ninth, but he struck out the next three hitters, getting Hardman looking to end the game with the tying run at third base.
Are you 🔥FIRED UP🔥 after that Friday night win?!
