Summary
The Hartford Yard Goats held off a late Akron RubberDucks rally to take the regular season finale 5-4 on Sunday night at Canal Park.
Turning Point
Hartford broke the scoreless tie in the top of the fifth. Braiden Ward reached on a hit by pitch before stealing second and third and scoring on an error to make it 1-0 Yard Goats. Adeal Amador added on with a solo home run. Hartford added one more later in the inning when Braxton Fulford lifted a sacrifice fly to make it 3-0 Yard Goats.
Mound Presence
Tommy Mace worked around traffic most of the night. The right-hander stranded runners in scoring position in each of the first three innings before Hartford got to him in the fifth. In total Mace tossed four and two-thirds innings allowing three runs while striking out one. Ross Carver allowed two runs over an inning and a third. Magnus Ellerts, Lenny Torres Jr. and Davis Sharpe each tossed scoreless innings and combined to strike out five.
Duck Tales
Akron answered Hartford’s big inning with a run in the bottom of the fifth. Dayan Frias kept the inning alive with a two-out single before advancing to second on Guy Lipscomb’s single. Cooper Ingle lined a single into left center to make it 3-1 Hartford. Akron got closer in the eighth as Alexfri Planez doubled home Jorge Burgos before a wild pitch allowed Milan Tolentino to score and make it 5-3 Yard Goats. The RubberDucks added another run in the ninth as CJ Kayfus doubled home Yordys Valdes to make it 5-4 Hartford, but Kayfus was stranded on second to end the game.
COOOP!!!@IngleCooper lines a single to get us on the board!
