Altoona Curve News Release
ALTOONA, PA - The Curve could not keep their previous night's momentum going offensively or defensively as the Curve fell to Akron 8-2 in game one of Sunday's doubleheader at Blair County Ballpark.
Akron scored first on an unearned run caused by a fielding error. Mickey Hall singled in another run in the fifth inning and then Hall was brought home on a bloop single by Jerad Head to put the Aeros up 3-0.
The Aeros continued to pour it on in the sixth when Nick Weglarz hit an RBI single to right center and then a sacrifice fly scored Jared Goedert before Head doubled to deep left center to plate two and put Akron ahead 7-0.
Ryan Edell (1-0) picks up the win for Akron throwing five innings allowing no runs on three hits with five strikeouts and no walks.
Mike Crotta (3-1) gets his first loss of the season after giving up six runs on seven hits with four strikeouts.
The Curve scored a pair of runs in the bottom of the seventh in a comeback attempt that fell short.
