Summary

For the second night in a row, Petey Halpin’s walk-off gives the Akron RubberDucks the 7-6 win over the Erie SeaWolves on Tuesday night at Canal Park.

Turning Point

With one out in the ninth, Yordys Valdes singled to right to give Akron life. After a flyout to deep center allowed Valdes to advance to second, Halpin lined a single into center to give Akron the 7-6 win.

Mound Presence

Tommy Mace got the start for Akron and ran into trouble in the second allowing five runs. The right-hander settled in after the tough inning, only allowing a solo home run the rest of the way. In total, Mace allowed six runs over five innings while striking out two. Lenny Torres Jr. tossed two scoreless innings. Bradley Hanner struck out three over two scoreless innings.

Duck Tales

The RubberDucks jumped in front early. CJ Kayfus tripled to open the bottom of the first before scoring on a Halpin sac-fly to make it 1-0 RubberDucks. After Erie’s big second, Akron started to chip away in the third when Alexfri Planez doubled home two. In the fourth, Milan Tolentino and Kody Huff opened the inning with a single and a walk. After two quick outs, Kayfus singled home both to tie the game 5-5. Halpin then followed with a single to left to give Akron the 6-5 lead.
