Akron completes the three game sweep 7-2 tonight as a ...

5 run fifth against starter Brooks McNiven (6-5) who didn't get out of the inning was the turning point in the game. Joe Bateman gave up a 2 run single to the first batter he faced but then settled down nicely getting the next 10 batters he faced getting 5 Ks.
The Defenders lead briefly 2-1 on a Velez RBI single and a run producing Akron error in the third. The Defs managed only five hits in the game; two each from Velez and Webb and another by Steve Holm.

Erie in town for the next three games of which I'll only see Friday's game. If it rains tomorrow I'll be upset as I like to see every team in the course of the season.

Another small crowd and a lifeless kind of game that really semed to drag on and on.
