Akron RubberDucks (27-15, 64-47) 5, Erie SeaWolves (24-17, 62-46) 2

WP: Trenton Denholm (1-1) LP: Carlos Pena (6-6) Save: Davis Sharpe (2)

Summary

Chase DeLauter homered as part of a two-hit game while Trenton Denholm struck out five to guide the Akron RubberDucks to a 5-2 win over the Erie SeaWolves on Thursday night at UPMC Park.

Turning Point

Akron got rolling in the third. CJ Kayfus opened the inning with a single before advancing to third on Kody Huff’s double. DeLauter followed with a line drive high over the wall in right to put Akron on top 3-0. Alexfri Planez kept the pressure on in the inning with a single to right. Cooper Ingle then drove in Planez from first with a double down the right field line to make it 4-0 RubberDucks.

Mound Presence

Denholm was sharp on the mound in his second start for Akron. The right-hander scattered six hits over five innings and allowed just one run while striking out five SeaWolves. Magnus Ellerts allowed a run over two innings pitched. Davis Sharpe tossed a scoreless eighth and ninth to record the save.

Duck Tales

Akron’s offense added on in the fifth as Planez launched a towering home run off the roof of the building beyond the left-center wall to make it 5-0 RubberDucks.

Notebook
