Harrisburg Senators News Release
Sunday night at FNB Field, the Altoona Curve shut out the Senators 2-0. Altoona scored single runs in the fourth and sixth innings, both driven in by Mason Martin with two outs, which was all the Curve needed. The Senators had several chances, putting a runner to third base four times and having their leadoff hitter reach five times but couldn't come up with the much-needed hit. After winning the first three games of the series, the Senators have dropped the last two.
The Big Play
Trailing 2-0 in the bottom of the eighth inning, the Senators put runners at first and second with no outs. James Wood then smoked a ground ball headed into center field, but Liover Peguero made a diving back hand play to start a double play.
On Capitol Hill
Alex Troop started and went 5.2 innings allowing both runs on four hits... Reid Schaller and Garvin Alston pitched the final 3.1 innings and didn't allow a run.
