Summary

Turning Point
The RubberDucks (50-36) scored three times in the third inning against Conner Overton (0-1) to take command of the game early. With the bases loaded and two outs, Marabell blasted a double to center field that cleared the bases and extended Akron's lead to 4-0.
Mound Presence
Dominic DeMasi (6-2) started for Akron and worked into the 6th inning. He allowed four runs on seven hits over five innings and struck out three. He left in the sixth with the bases loaded, and all three runs scored against lefty David Speer to close the gap to 5-4. Jordan Milbrath followed with two scoreless innings, and Angulo made quick work of the Squirrels with a perfect ninth to notch his sixth save.
