The New Hampshire Fisher Cats called upon starter Williams Mendoza, and he delivered, leading his team to victory over the Akron RubberDucks, 5-2. Mendoza, the winner, moves to 3-1. He threw 6.2 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 6 and giving up 3 walks. Greg Thomas nailed down the save.

The Fisher Cats got a big at-bat from right fielder Ed Simmons. For the game, Simmons went 1-4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the third, with runners on 1st and 3rd, he stroked a 3-run home run. His 3rd home run of the season gave New Hampshire a 3-2 lead.

In postgame remarks, Simmons said: "To all who've been doubting my effort -- I hope they saw this game."

The RubberDucks fall to 6-10 and continue their uneven start to the 2025 season.
