Akron Win Evens Series at 2
In a crucial game, the Akron RubberDucks put on their best show, beating the Altoona Curve by a final score of 5-3. Alex Neal was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Akron and Altoona are now tied at 2 wins apiece in the best-of-7 affair.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for George Waters? The Akron designated hitter had a 2-run single in the top of the fourth inning to put the RubberDucks on top, 2-1. For the game, Waters had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"It's true for every sport, I think, but the playoffs are so short that you've just got to get in and get hot," Akron manager Damon Cordero told BNN after the win. "We took care of the first part and now we're just working on the second."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at People's Natural Gas Field in Altoona.
