Summary
Akron's Bobby Bradley slugged two home runs, including a grand slam, and lefty Matt Whitehouse turned in his longest outing of the year, as the RubberDucks defeated the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, 7-5, Saturday night in Manchester, New Hampshire.

 
Turning Point
The RubberDucks rallied from a 2-1 deficit with five runs in the third inning off starter Sean Reid-Foley (3-4). After the Ducks loaded the bases with no outs, Tyler Krieger tied the game, 2-2, with a sacrifice fly. Following a single by Francisco Mejía to re-load the bases, Bradley smashed a grand slam to right field to give Akron a 6-2 lead.
 
Winging It
Whitehouse (2-2) pitched a season-high, six innings and scattered seven hits and three runs to earn his first win as a starter and his second victory, overall. He walked one and fanned four. D.J. Brown supplied 1.1 innings of relief, but ran into a jam and left with two men on base in the eighth. Neil Holland came on and ended up leaving the bases loaded in the eighth, and then worked around a two-out RBI double by Richard Ureña in the ninth to nail down his fifth save.
 
Duck Tales
Bradley lined a solo shot to right off Danny Isaacs in the seventh to extend the lead to 7-4. It was his second homer of the game, and his 10^th of the year. He finished with five RBI to tie Yu Chang for the team lead of 34. Eric Haase also homered, a solo shot in the second off Reid Foley. It was his 9^th homer of the season. Joe Sever had a pair of hits and extended his hit streak to 11 games.
