4 RubberDucks Rewind Last Time Out SeaWolves Sneak By RubberDucks, 3-2 by Melissa Powell (Akron, Ohio) July 18, 2014 The Erie SeaWolves snapped a 2-2 tie in the top of the 10th inning by launching back-to-back doubles, bringing home the go-ahead run and giving them just enough to defeat the Akron RubberDucks, 3-2, on Friday night at Canal Park. The teams traded momentum as Erie posted a single run in the second and third inning and the 'Ducks followed by posting a single run in each of the fourth and fifth frames. The SeaWolves were first to drive in a run when right fielder Steven Moya crossed on a Francisco Martinez sacrifice fly in the top of the second frame. Erie second baseman Devon Travis sent a solo bomb to left-center field to help the SeaWolves to a 2-0 advantage in the top of the third inning. The RubberDucks got on the board when Adam Abraham doubled, advanced on a wild pitch from Thompson and scored on a groundout. Another ground-out in the bottom of the fifth created a scoring opportunity for Ronny Rodriguez and knotted the score at 2-2. In his second AA appearance, Akron starter Shawn Morimando hurled six innings in which he allowed six hits and two runs while striking out one. The lefty's six-inning outing matched his AA debut on May 30 at Canal Park when he worked through six shutout innings and racked up six strikeouts. SeaWolves starter Jake Thompson posted a similar line, helping to lock the game at a 2-2 tie after spending the first six innings on the mound, allowing five hits and two runs and striking out two. Erie closer Angel Nesbitt (1-0) picked up the win after pitching two innings and allowing one hit and fanning one.
