WP: Cam Schlittler (4-5) LP: Rodney Boone (3-2) Save: Kelly Austin (3)
Summary
Somerset catcher Rafael Flores hit a three-run home run in the fourth inning, and Akron was held scoreless until the ninth inning, as the Patriots won the series finale, 3-1, over the RubberDucks, who still took four of the six games during the week at TD Bank Ballpark in Bridgewater, New Jersey.
Turning Point
In a scoreless game in the bottom of the fourth inning, left-hander Rodney Boone walked shortstop George Lombard Jr., and center fielder Spencer Jones singled to left field. Flores drove his Eastern League-leading 11th home run to left field, giving the Patriots a 3-0 lead. Prior to that swing, the league’s total base leader had been just 9-for-45 with two doubles and one RBI against Akron pitching in 11 games this season.
Mound Presence
Boone worked around a hit and a walk through the first three scoreless innings. He allowed a walk, hit batter and single to loaded the bases with two outs in the fourth before departing. Right-hander Jake Miller entered to end the inning by striking out Yankee Jazz Chisholm, who finished 0-for-3 Sunday but 3-for-9 in three games against Akron while playing for Somerset. Miller pitched two more scoreless innings, striking out four total batters, as he extended a four-game, 7 2/3-inning scoreless streak. Right-hander Tyler Thornton struck out three batters while walking two in two scoreless innings.

Duck Tales
Facing Patriots right-hander Cam Schlittler for a third time, the RubberDucks managed four hits but no runs in five innings. In the fifth, shortstop Alex Mooney had his second hit of the day and third straight overall, stole his team-high 16th base of the season, and then was thrown out by left fielder Garrett Martin when trying to score on a single by second baseman Michael Turconi. In the ninth, first baseman Jorge Burgos singled and later scored on left fielder Joe Lampe’s RBI double – his team-high third double in the series.
On the board with @joelampe5's 3rd @flooranddecor double of the week!
