Summary

Akron RubberDucks left-hander Ryan Webb struck out six batters in six innings, but the four Bowie Baysox combined on a four-hit shutout in a 4-0 win in the third game of a six-game series at Prince George’s Stadium Thursday night.

Turning Point

Bowie designated hitter Samuel Basallo led off the first inning with a single to center field against Webb, went to third base on a single by first baseman Dylan Beavers and scored on a sacrifice fly by left fielder Jud Fabian for a 1-0 lead.

Mound Presence

After the first inning, Webb only allowed another run on two hits in the third but worked into the seventh inning, yielding four total hits and two earned runs with five walks and six strikeouts, including three in a row at one point. After Webb walked the first two batters of the seventh inning, eft-hander Erik Sabrowski entered and recorded all three outs, then pitched a scoreless eighth inning around a walk, completing a two-inning scoreless appearance.

Duck Tales

Against Bowie right-hander Trace Bright, the RubberDucks had three singles but only advanced one runner to second base in the second inning, before a strikeout and double play ended the inning. In all, they tallied four hits and three walks against Baysox pitchers.
