Akron Charts 5-4 Win Over New Britain
The Akron RubberDucks defeated the New Britain Rock Cats, 5-4, in part because of first baseman António Becerra. Becerra was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the RubberDucks. Akron reliever Henry Owens was the winner. His record is now 3-0. The losing pitcher was Greg Belisle. The loss lowers the New Britain record to 14-14.

The game was all tied up in the bottom of the eighth, until Becerra delivered big-time for Akron, stroking a dramatic run-scoring single off Greg Belisle. The game-changing hit put the RubberDucks on top, 5-4.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Becerra.
