Akron RubberDucks 4, New Hampshire Fisher Cats 2
Box Score · RubberDucks improve to 26-16
For over a week now, it’s been the George Valera show in Akron. The top Cleveland prospect continued to rake Thursday, going 2-4 with a beautiful two-run home run, which broke a 2-2 tie and helped seal Akron’s victory.
George Valera just hit a ball 472 feet, and even he couldn’t help but admire it.
