Hensley Excels in 8-3 Akron Win
Behind a fine performance from Art Hensley, the Akron Blimps knocked off the Ithaca Fighting Imps, 8-3. Hensley was 3-4 with a home run, 2 doubles, and a walk, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2 for the Blimps. Raúl Nieves, the winner, goes to 5-7. He allowed 3 runs on 5 hits, with 6 walks and 1 strikeout over 5.2 innings. Akron has a 5-game win streak, while Ithaca has lost 3 in a row.

Akron used a well-timed hit by Jesús Velázquez to capture the win. The shortstop socked a bases-clearing double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Blimps ahead, 6-3. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"We won," Hensley told assembled media after the game. "I guess that's all that really matters."
