They were rained out, and possibly walking, in Memphis on Tuesday. They’ll make Wednesday’s contest a doubleheader instead. Wednesday night they’ll kick off the six-game set with RHP Thomas Parsons (0-1, 4.56 ERA) going for the Redbirds. First pitch is set for 8:10 p.m. EDT.
Erie SeaWolves 7, Akron RubberDucks 2 (box)
The red hot 17-8 SeaWolves jumped on Akron in the first inning and poured it on from there. Ryan Kreidler and Drew Ward singled, and newly promoted third baseman Andre Lipcius lined an RBI, two-out single into right field to score Kreidler. Ward came across on a throwing error on a Josh Lester ground ball, and Erie was up 2-0.
