RubberDucks Get Clutch Win Versus Trenton
Due in large part to first baseman Cliff Martin, the Akron RubberDucks sunk the Trenton Thunder, 8-7. Martin went 2 for 4 with 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. The RubberDucks improved their record to 44-62 with the win over Trenton.

Akron needed the clutch hitting of Juan Alaorbar to seal the deal. The third baseman swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the RubberDucks on top, 8-7. For the game, Alaorbar had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We got the victory," said Alaorbar. "That's all that matters at the end of the day."
