CURVE, Pa. - After a one hour and 23-minute rain delay, Altoona dropped game the third game of the series to Chesapeake, 4-0, on Thursday night at PNG Field.

RHP Matt Ager made his fifth start with the Curve and went a career-long six innings and a season-high 85 pitches, 64 strikes, in the loss. Ager yielded a season-high eight hits and three runs including a leadoff home run to Aron Estrada to begin the game.
Alessandro Ercolani struck out five over two scoreless innings of relief, working around a pair of 2-out baserunners in the eighth inning. Landon Tomkins allowed an insurance run in the ninth inning.
Altoona will play game four of six with Chesapeake at 6:00 p.m. on Friday night at PNG Field. Altoona will send LHP Connor Oliver to the mound, while the Baysox will start RHP Juaron Watts-Brown.
