Flying Squirrels Top RubberDucks in Extras, 5-2
Extra innings were needed to determine a winner at Canal Park.

The Richmond Flying Squirrels got a stellar performance from pitcher António Tovaz, who handcuffed the Akron offense en route to a win, 5-2, at Canal Park. Jim Alexander, now 1-0, picked up the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 2 hits in 2 innings.

Richmond used a timely hit from Norm Johnston to get the win. The designated hitter stroked a 2-run double in the top of the tenth inning to put the Flying Squirrels ahead, 4-2. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"Our team showed some resilience," said Tovaz.

The first-place Flying Squirrels have a one-game lead in their division.
