WP: Robbie Aviles (4-1) LP: Jairo Labourt (1-1) Save: none
Summary
Akron's Bobby Bradley enjoyed a career-night by slugging three home runs and driving in seven RBI, including a pivotal three-run homer in the seventh, as the RubberDucks came from behind to beat the Erie SeaWolves, 10-4, Tuesday night at Canal Park in Akron, Ohio.
Turning Point
The RubberDucks (37-35) took the lead in the seventh when Bradley ripped a towering, three-run homer to right off Erie lefty Jairo Labourt (1-1). It was the second of his three homers in the game and gave the RubberDucks a 5-4 lead. Eric Haase followed Bradley with a solo shot to right-center field, his 13th of the year, to extend the lead to 6-4.
Winging It
Robbie Aviles (4-1) earned the win in relief by firing two scoreless innings for the Ducks. David Speer worked the ninth and retired the SeaWolves (37-39) in order. Thomas Pannone started and pitched the first six innings for Akron, giving up four runs (two earned). He walked one and struck out six. Pannone left after allowing a pair of runs in the sixth and trailed 4-1 upon his exit from the game.
Duck Tales
It was a one-man show for the RubberDucks as Bradley homered on three consecutive pitches in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings. His solo homer off Erie starter A.J. Ladwig in the sixth inning pulled the Ducks to within 4-2. He came up again in the seventh with a pair of men on base and ripped the first pitch he saw from Labourt into the right field terrace. In the eighth, he came up again with two men on base and belted the first pitch from Erie righty Gerson Moreno for his third homer of the ninth and his seventh RBI. Bradley now 14 homers and 48 RBI on the season.
