Summary

Wuilfredo Antunez, Angel Genao and Nick Mitchell all homered to power the Akron RubberDucks to a 5-0 win over the Reading Fightin Phils on Saturday afternoon and an Opening Weekend sweep at 7 17 Credit Union Park.

Turning Point

Scoreless until sixth, the RubberDucks finally cracked the scoreboard. Antunez launched a solo home run into the bullpens to open up the inning and give Akron the 1-0 lead.

Mound Presence

Caden Favors made his Double-A debut on Saturday. The left-hander was lights out allowing just two hits over four scoreless innings while striking out four. Mangus Ellerts allowed just one hit over an inning and two-thirds while striking out two. Jack Jasiak retired the only batter he faced to strand a runner on second in the top of the sixth. Hunter Stanley worked two scoreless innings. Matt Jachec tossed a scoreless ninth to secure the win.

Duck Tales

The Antunez homer sparked the RubberDucks offense. In the seventh, back-to-back singles by Juan Benjamin and Jose Devers set up Genao. The RubberDucks shortstop launched a three-run home run to the canal behind the left field wall to make it 4-0 Akron. The RubberDucks added one more in the eighth when Nick Mitchell launched a solo home run to the Modelo Tiki Terrace.

Notebook

Mitchell’s home run was his first in Double-A…Akron combined to hit six homers in the three-game series…RubberDucks batters have homered 16 times in the last nine games played against Reading…Akron has now swept the Opening Weekend series in back-to-back seasons…Game Time: 2:24…Attendance: 2,205.

On the Pond

The RubberDucks will have Sunday and Monday off before hitting the road to Harrisburg to begin a six-game series against the Senators on Tuesday, April 7 at 6:30 p.m. Akron will return to 7 17 Credit Union Park on Tuesday, April 14 to begin a six-game series against the Binghamton Rumble Ponies.
