Senators 10, RubberDucks 5

The visiting Harrisburg Senators scored three runs in the seventh inning to break a 5-5 tie and added two insurance runs in the ninth to capture the series finale at Canal Park on Sunday afternoon.

A run-scoring double play and a two-run home run in the seventh won the game for the Senators (40-56) and handed reliever Brett Daniels (2-1) his first loss of the year. Control was a problem all day for the Ducks (50-44) in a true bullpen game as seven pitchers combined to walk 11 batters and throw one wild pitch.

At the plate, George Valera went 2-for-4 with his 15th home run of the season, two runs and two RBIs. Micah Pries went 2-for-4 with a double, one run, two RBIs and two stolen base
