(Bowie, MD) - A big 3rd inning, highlighted with Ryan Hubele's second home run of the season, helped lift the Bowie Baysox over the Altoona Curve for the second straight game with a 6-3 victory on Thursday evening in the Keystone State.

After the Curve scored in the bottom of the 1st inning, Hubele came to the plate in the 2nd with two men on and two outs and delivered a shot to left field, scoring Noah Hall and Leo Daigle. It was the first home run for the Baysox catcher in over two months.

In the 5th frame it was more Hubele, as the 25-year-old catcher punched a single to left field and later scored from third while Altoona was in the midst of Pete Shier being picked off at first and caught stealing second base. It would prove to be all the Baysox would need to get past the Curve for just the second time this season.

Just to be safe, the Baysox added two more insurance runs in the 6th inning on a Noah Hall RBI single followed by a sac fly off the bat of Daigle.

Baysox starter Garrett Olson notched his first Double-A win, allowing just two runs on six hits while striking out four over 6.0 IP. The Baysox bullpen of Richard Stahl, Carlos Jan and Brian Forystek combined to throw 3.0 innings of shutout relief and Forystek pitched a perfect ninth inning for his second save on the year.

The only real offense for Altoona came on a Ray Sadler solo home run in the 6th, and a triple by Nyjer Morgan.

With both wins in the two game series, the Baysox swept the Curve for the first time this season.
