In game two, the Clippers were shutout 1-0, spoiling a strong bullpen game as Robert Broom, Anthony Gose, Danny Young and Jordan Stephen combined to allow just one run on four hits.

The lone Clipper to reach base safely was .... you guessed it .... Kwan, who went 1-2 with a walk.

Akron RubberDucks 2, Altoona Curve 7

Another massive performer was Andres Melendes, who was perfect at the plate, going 2-2 with a double and three walks, while Milan Tolentino went 2-5.
