RubberDucks Get 6-5 Win Versus Richmond
Though he had a stellar game, Arcibaldo Dantas could not prevent his team, the Richmond Flying Squirrels, from losing, 6-5, to the Akron RubberDucks. Dantas was 4 for 5 with a double and 3 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Akron reliever Tim Berry was the winner. His record is now 1-0. The losing pitcher was Bob Gordon. With the win, Akron raised its record to 51-33.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Ben Ramsey? The 28-year old second baseman Ramsey stroked a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to put Akron up, 6-5. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Richmond manager Mike Sarbaugh. "But we decided not to take it."
