AA Akron Aeros

Fisher Cats 5, Aeros 3: Akron rallied for three runs in the top of the eighth inning but couldn't overcome a five-run deficit as they lost an Eastern League game at Manchester, N.H. Right-hander Austin Adams (9-9) took the loss, allowing five earned runs on nine hits in six innings.

Note: Akron was 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position.

A Lake County Captains

Dragons 2, Captains 1: Billy Hamilton scored all the way from first base when Drew Poulk singled and Luigi Rodriguez bobbled the ball in center field and host Dayton defeated Lake County in 11 innings in a Midwest League game.
