Richmond comes up short at Akron

Chris Graham

The Richmond Flying Squirrels (37-44) erased an early 3-0 lead only to fall late to the Akron Aeros (49-32), 6-4, on Saturday night at Canal Park. The Squirrels have now dropped four straight games to the Aeros and have dropped eight of their past nine ballgames. Richmond is also a season-worst seven games below .500
