Chris Kopca impressed in the 8-6 Richmond win over Akron. Kopca, who is tied for 5th in the EL in runs scored with 71, went 2-5 with a home run and a triple. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. The win puts the Flying Squirrels at 65-62, while the RubberDucks drop to 45-82.

Kopca contributed a big hit, a 2-run triple, for Richmond in the top of the third. With his team trailing 2-1, Kopca took a fastball from Josh Hammond and stroked the triple to right-center. His 2nd triple of the season allowed the Flying Squirrels to leap in front, 3-2.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," Kopca told the Richmond Times.
