RubberDucks 5, SeaWolves 4 (12)

Jose Tena's two-out RBI single lifted the RubberDucks to an extra-inning win over the Erie SeaWolves in an Eastern League game Thursday at Canal Park.

The Ducks rallied from three runs behind to tie the score in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Trailing by one in the 11th, a two-out, run-scoring single set up Tena's game-winner into the right-center field gap that scored Ike Freeman from second base.

Kyle Marman (1-0) was the fifth Ducks pitcher to work and earned the win with two innings.

Joey Cantillo started for the Ducks and struck out eight in four innings. Manuel Alvarez, Andrew Misiaszek and Kevin Kelly followed Cantillo before the Ducks (16-14) offense prevailed for the win.

Tena finished with two singles and two RBIs from his leadoff spot. Catcher Eric Rodriguez also had two hits for the Ducks.
