Akron tied the game in the sixth. Mize retired the first two batters of the frame before giving up a double to Trenton Brooks. Nellie Rodríguez and Mitch Longo followed with back-to-back walks, loading the bases. Alex Call singled to left, plating Brooks. On the play, Gibson threw out Rodriguez trying to score from second, keeping the game tied.
The Ducks took the lead back in the top of the ninth against Erie reliever Nolan Blackwood when Alexis Pantoja led off with an opposite-field solo home run for a 3-2 advantage.
Akron reliever Jake Paulson (11-7) earned the win holding the SeaWolves scoreless for 3.2 innings. He allowed three hits with no walks and four strikeouts.
