RubberDucks Top Rock Cats, 6-4
Raúl Lozano helped his team muscle past the New Britain Rock Cats, 6-4. In the game, the Akron first baseman was 4 for 6 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. Henry Owens earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. His record is now 2-0. New Britain falls to 10-11.

The game was all tied up in the top of the 11th, until Lozano delivered big-time for Akron, stroking a dramatic run-scoring single off Kel Clark. The game-changing hit put the RubberDucks on top, 5-4.

"Took some scratching and clawing," said Lozano. "But we got it done."
