AKRON, Ohio – Miami beat Akron in seven innings Friday, winning 13-3 after a five-hit day from Tommy Harrison that included two home runs.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

Evan Appelwick recorded Miami's first hit of the game, a one-out double in the top of the first. Harrison singled to left field, putting runners at the corners, and Appelwick scored the RedHawks' first run of the day by advancing on a groundout. Ignacio Gonzalez homered to right field on the next at-bat, clearing the bases and putting the RedHawks ahead 3-0 early.
Burke took the mound for Miami in the bottom of the first and sent down all three batters he faced.
Dominic Krupinski started the second inning by taking first after an HBP. Harrison hit his 15th home run of the year, a two-run shot to right field that extended Miami's lead to five runs.
Gonzalez collected his second hit of the day, hitting leadoff in the third. Carson Raether walked, and both runners moved up a base on a groundout. Gonzalez then scored on a wild pitch. Still with one out, Christopher Roa doubled down the right-field line, bringing Raether around to score. Krupinski hit Miami's third home run of the day, another two-run blast that put the RedHawks ahead by nine.
Akron added their first run in the bottom of the third, leading off the inning with a double and a single before utilizing a sac fly to score and make it 9-1. A solo home run by the Zips made it a 9-2 ballgame in the bottom of the fourth. Burke stopped the scoring streak with a one-two-three inning in the fifth.
In the top of the sixth, Harrison hit his second home run of the day, again to right field, to add one to Miami's tally. On the very next at-bat, Ryan Novak homered to left field, making the score 11-2. Akron answered with a home run of their own in the bottom of the inning to make the score 11-3.
With two outs in the seventh, Krupinski walked and Marcus Dierks hit an infield single. Appelwick walked, loading the bases, setting up Harrison for a two-run single through the right side that put Miami ahead ten runs, 13-3.
Burke finished out his third complete game in a Miami uniform with a groundout.
