Summary
Akron's Eric Haase slugged two homers, and Shane Bieber tossed three-hit ball for seven innings, as the RubberDucks defeated the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, 9-4, Wednesday night at Canal Park in Akron, Ohio.

Turning Point
The RubberDucks (58-56) broke a 1-1 tie on Joe Sever's two-run homer in the fifth inning against Ryan Borucki (1-2). It was Sever's sixth of the year and gave the Ducks a 3-1 lead.
Winging It
Bieber (2-1) won his second consecutive start with a sensational effort. The right-hander worked seven innings and limited the Fisher Cats to just two runs on three hits. He did not issue a walk and fanned only one. The Cats reached Bieber for a run in the second on an RBI triple by Tim Lopes, and again in the seventh on a double by Anthony Alford and an RBI groundout by Emilio Guerrero. Bieber threw 83 pitches, 59 of which were strikes.
Duck Tales
Haase now sits at second in the EL with 23 home runs. He ripped a long, solo homer to right field in the bottom of the second to tie the game, 1-1. He came back to drill a towering, three-run shot off right-hander Dusty Issacs in the seventh to give the Ducks an 8-2 lead. Haase finished the night 2-4, with four RBI. It was the second two-homer game of the Season for Haase, who also did it at Harrisburg on July 4^th. He has hit 14 of his homers at Canal Park. Greg Allen reached Issacs for a two-run single in the sixth. That hit extended Allen's hitting streak to seven games. Francisco Mejía slapped an RBI single in the eighth to make it 9-4. He was 2-4, and raised his average to .317, which ranks second in the EL.
