Turning Point
Leading, 6-3, entering the ninth inning, Akron added four insurance runs as third baseman Dayan Frías walked with one out, left fielder Guy Lipscomb singled left field, shortstop Alex Mooney hit an RBI single to left field, and Barstad hit his first home run of the season – a three-run shot to straightaway center field – to give Akron a 10-3 lead.

Mound Presence
Right-hander Trent Denholm worked around solo homers leading off the second and fifth innings to center fielder Garrett Martin and right fielder Cole Gabrielson, respectively, and yielded an unearned run in the fourth inning. He struck out top Yankees prospect George Lombard Jr. three times among four total strikeouts and earned his first win as a starter this season, second against Somerset and sixth overall – tied for the Eastern League lead. Right-hander Zach Jacobs pitched three scoreless innings for a third straight outing, allowing only one hit and one walk with four strikeouts. Right-hander Zane Morehouse allowed a ninth-inning leadoff homer to Martin – his second of the night – and allowed two walks and two hits to load the bases with no outs and a five-run lead. He then took a line drive off the bat of third baseman Max Burt, threw to Barstad for a forceout, and after Barstad threw to first baseman Jorge Burgos for a second out, Burgos threw back home to Barstad, who tagged out Gabrielson trying to score, completing the game-ending triple play.

Duck Tales
Akron took the lead in the first inning, as left fielder Guy Lipscomb hit a two-out, two-run single for a 2-0 lead against right-hander Bailey Dees. In the fourth, Barstad hit a leadoff double, designated hitter Cooper Ingle walked, and Watson crushed a 410-foot home run – his fourth of the season – to right field for a 5-1 lead. Burgos singled home Ingle in the sixth to make it 6-3. Ingle, Frías, Lipscomb and Barstad each had two-hit games.
