Guest RubberDucks Win, 6-3, at Reading
The Akron RubberDucks knocked off the Reading Fightin Phils, 6-3, at FirstEnergy Stadium. Juan Hernández was a big reason Akron won. The left fielder went 3-3 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2. Akron pitcher Ed Jacobs got the win. He's now 2-3. Dave Steward was tagged with the loss. The RubberDucks raised their record to 22-33.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Héctor Rijo? The Akron right fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the RubberDucks on top, 2-0. For the game, Rijo had 1 double and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

Hernández attributed the win to his team's "concerted effort."
