A two-out triple by first baseman Jake Lowery in the top of ninth got the RubberDucks into extra innings Thursday, but Akron eventually fell, 2-1, to the Curve in 11 innings in a Class AA Eastern League game in Altoona, Pa.
Akron reliever Grant Sides walked in the winning run in the 11th. Sides had four walks in the inning, one intentional.
Lowery's triple was the RubberDucks' only extra-base hit as Akron batters continue to struggle, getting only seven hits overall.
Other than the ninth, the RubberDucks' only scoring threat came in the eighth inning when singles by Ollie Linton Jr.
