Akron quickly responded with Dorssys Paulino’s solo shot off of Baysox starter Keegan Akin that tied the game at one apiece.

Joe Sever led off the fourth with a double, took third on a throwing error from Akin and scored on Mark Mathias’ sac fly to give the RubberDucks a 2-1 advantage.

In the top of the sixth, a walk and a pair of singles loaded the bases with one out for Akron before Akin issued a free pass to Sicnarf Loopstok that extended the lead to 3-1.

Akin (3-3) surrendered three runs (two earned) on five hits to go along with two walks and five strikeouts in 5.2 IP.

Ka’ai Tom’s RBI single in the eighth made it a 4-1 game in favor of the Ducks. The run was charged to RHP Tanner Chleborad (2.1 IP, 2 H, R, ER).

Hays reached on an infield single in the fourth to extend his hitting streak to a season-high seven games.

RHP Ryan Meisinger (1.0 IP, K) had a scoreless outing in relief for manager Gary Kendall’s squad.

Bowie heads to Altoona to open a three-game set with the Curve on Monday night at Peoples Natural Gas Field.
