Walsh Stars in 10-8 RubberDucks Win
In a high-scoring contest between Akron and Reading, first baseman Eric Walsh was a difference-maker. Walsh distinguished himself in the 10-8 Akron win. He went 4 for 4 with a home run, 3 singles, and 2 walks, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. Akron reliever Ben Mills picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Alex Juarez absorbed the loss. Getting the save was Chad Blechle, his 1st.

Akron used a well-timed hit by Mark DeHaven to capture the win. The center fielder socked a run-scoring double in the top of the sixth inning to put the RubberDucks ahead, 7-6. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

"When their pitchers are leaving stuff over the heart of the plate, we're not missing it," said Akron manager Juan Nunez.

Akron has now won 6 straight, while the Fightin Phils have lost 3 in a row.
