RubberDucks Pin 5-1 Loss on New Britain
Akron pitcher Juan D. Nunez had a large part in his team subduing the New Britain Rock Cats, 5-1. The opposition could never mount much of a rally against the right-hander. With the loss, New Britain is 14-13.

Wilbert Perry had a big solo home run for the RubberDucks in the bottom of the sixth inning. With Akron leading 1-0 and the bases empty, he sized up a cutter from 26-year old left-handed pitcher Bob Walters and punished it. The result was his 1st home run of the season, which put the RubberDucks on top, 2-0.

"I like our moxie," said RubberDucks manager Keith Johnson.
