RubberDucks Even With Pilots After Walk-Off Win
The Wild Card Series will come down to a one-game playoff after a 9th inning walk-off win for the Akron RubberDucks. Akron took Game 6 in dramatic fashion at Canal Park, beating the Wichita Pilots, 9-8. Young RubberDucks center fielder Feo Bravo, 24, hit 2 home runs, while scoring 3 and driving in 4 in the contest. With the RubberDucks win, the best-of-7 series is tied at 3-3.

Hunter Partin was the walk-off hero for Akron. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the RubberDucks second baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

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

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Canal Park in Akron.
