Akron Ball Team Wins And Loses In Past Week
Akron baseball team split results in the last week losing to Westfield at Riverstone on the Fourth of July while defeating Hinton Liberty on Sunday. A planned doubleheader with Spink was canceled. Westfield pitcher Kapfer held Akron to three hits with twelve strikeouts. Akron finally pushed across two runs in the sixth but could not muster more. Sunday’s 4 3 Akron win over Hinton Liberty featured Lefty Swift beating Brosamle in a pitchers duel. A small local crowd disappointed management, though Akron displayed solid play and asked business leaders to support future games.
