Summary

Four Harrisburg Senators combined on a three-hit shutout of the Akron RubberDucks in an 8-0 win for the home team in the second game of a six-game series at FNB Field Wednesday night.

Turning Point

The Senators grabbed a lead in the first inning against Akron right-hander Tommy Mace. Right fielder Robert Hassell III hit a one-out solo home run to left field. With two outs, center fielder James Wood hit an infield single, third baseman Brady House singled, and designated hitter Frankie Tostado and catcher Brady Lindsly hit consecutive RBI singles, with the final hit leading to center fielder Petey Halpin throwing out Tostado at third base.

Mound Presence

After the three-run first inning, Mace worked perfect second through fourth innings. In the fifth, he allowed a walk and bunt single before Hassell hit an RBI double. An inning-ending double play completed Mace’s five innings, as he allowed four earned runs on eight hits with a walk and a strikeout. Left-hander Erik Sabrowski began the sixth inning and allowed Wood’s leadoff home run, House’s double and Tostado’s RBI single to make it 6-0. After a leadoff walk in the seventh, right-hander Trey Benton entered and allowed three hits, scoring two more runs, before striking out three straight hitters. Right-hander Jordan Jones worked around a walk and hit in a scoreless eighth inning.

Duck Tales

The RubberDucks managed only a walk in the first four innings against Harrisburg right-hander Michael Cuevas. Their first hit was second baseman Juan Brito’s two-out single in the seventh inning, which extended his 22-game on-base streak, the longest active streak in the Eastern League. Catcher Michael Berglund and third baseman Gabriel Rodríguez added consecutive one-out singles in the eighth inning. No RubberDuck runner reached third base.
