RubberDucks Show Moxy in 5-4 Win
Fans of the Akron RubberDucks who packed the stands for the home opener were rewarded with a Akron win over the visiting Altoona Curve, 5-4. Ben Veillette started for the home team against Ian Mignogna. Ben Veillette earned accolades for his performance.

The decisive blow was delivered by Larry Seiger in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a 2-run home run off 23-year old left-handed pitcher Dave Stearns to win the game for Akron. The home crowd went nuts.

"The first start is always the hardest," said Veillette. "The biggest thing is just getting through it."
