Morrow Shines in 6-4 Akron Win
The Akron RubberDucks topped the Altoona Curve, 6-4, at People's Natural Gas Field. Akron right fielder Jalen Morrow was a spark plug for the offense. He went 3-3 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. Mike Laba, the winner, is now 6-4. He struck out 2 and walked 2 over 6 innings, while allowing 3 runs on 7 hits. The last-place RubberDucks improved to 35-63.

Akron used a clutch at-bat from Oscar Welsh to capture the win. The catcher hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the third inning to put the RubberDucks ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Morrow said.
