The RubberDucks and Baysox traded runs in the early innings, holding a 1-1 tie until the fifth inning when Mitch Longo laced a two-run triple into the left-center field gap, making the score 4-1 Akron. However, the Baysox tied the game with one run in the sixth inning and two in the seventh before the RubberDucks scored three decisive runs in the eighth inning with timely hitting and capitalizing on a Bowie error to grab a 7-4 win in Akron on Thursday at Canal Park.
