Akron RubberDucks (27-16) 10, Harrisburg Senators (25-18) 9, 12 innings

WP: Lenny Torres Jr. (1-0) LP: Lucas Knowles (1-3) Save: none

Summary

After the Akron RubberDucks had lost leads of 1-0, 6-1 and 9-6, they scored the winning run on a 12th-inning, two-out RBI single by catcher Micael Ramírez and secured a second straight extra-inning win, 10-9, over the Harrisburg Senators, opening a two-game lead in the Southwest Division after the fourth game of a six-game series at FNB Field Friday night.

Turning Point

In a 9-9 tie in the top of the 12th inning, right fielder Alexfri Planez was placed at second base and advanced to third base on a groundout by first baseman Dayan Frías. Ramírez lined the first pitch from left-hander Lucas Knowles to right field for a two-out single and 10-9 lead.

Mound Presence

Left-hander Rodney Boone shut out the Senators for the first three innings. In the fourth, he hit a batter, walked another and gave up a game-tying single to catcher Onix Vega. Right-hander Andrew Walters entered to record four outs, striking out the side in the fifth. Right-hander Jordan Jones pitched a perfect sixth inning before walking the first three batters in the seventh, when right-hander Trey Benton entered and allowed the inherited runners to score on two hits. Benton also allowed two runs – one earned – in the eighth that tied the game, 6-6. Right-hander Tyler Thornton pitched a perfect ninth inning but allowed three runs – two earned – on three hits and two walks in the 10th. Right-hander Lenny Torres Jr., with help from a fly-ball double play by left fielder Christian Cairo pitched a scoreless 11th and then retired all three batters in the 12th to earn his first Double-A win and extend his 13-game, 16 1/3-inning scoreless season.

Duck Tales

Akron took its first lead in the fourth inning, when Cairo singled, second baseman Aaron Bracho doubled, and Planez hit a sacrifice fly. In the fifth, Frías was hit by a pitch, Ramírez walked, and four RBI singles by third baseman Yordys Valdés, Cairo, Bracho and Planez gave Akron a 5-1 lead. Valdés walked and scored on center fielder Kahlil Watson’s RBI single to make it 6-1 in the seventh. In the 10th, pinch hitter Kody Huff had an infield single, Frías hit a go-ahead RBI single, and shortstop Milan Tolentino hit a two-run single to make it 9-6.

Notebook

In their second straight extra-inning game and fourth straight one-run game, the clubs played the Eastern League’s first 12-inning game of the season…Akron is 2-1 in extra innings, while Harrisburg is 2-5 in an Eastern League-high seven such games…Tolentino extended his eight-game hitting streak (10 hits in that span)…Frías extended a five-game hitting streak (seven hits in that span)…Game Time: 3:49 (longest for an Eastern League game this season, and Akron’s longest since 4:22 on July 2, 2022, at Erie – also a 10-9 victory in the club’s last 12-inning game)…Attendance: 4,843.

On the Pond

The RubberDucks continue their series in Harrisburg at 6:00 p.m. Saturday at FNB Field. Akron right-hander Aaron Davenport (3-0, 1.66 ERA) is scheduled to face Senators left-hander Andrew Alvarez (2-2, 3.51 ERA).
