CURVE, Pa. - CURVE, Pa. - The Altoona Curve, Double-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates, return to Peoples Natural Gas Field from their longest road trip of the season on Friday.

The Curve, who are currently in a stretch of 16 out of 23 games away from PNG Field, will host the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, Double-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, for a three-game series through Sunday. The club will open the series as the Allegheny Yinzers for the second time in 2019 with black and gold specialty uniforms, presented by Keller Engineers. The Yinzers theme will carry over to Pittsburgh-style concessions upgrades, videoboard design and postgame fireworks set to the hottest jams played during Steel City sporting events.

A Game of Hope will be played on Saturday, June 1, presented by UPMC Altoona and United Rentals. It will be the fourth annual game centered around awareness for cancer research with proceeds of A Game of Hope T-shirts and luminaries going to Relay for Life of Blair. Before the top of the fourth inning on Saturday, the Curve will hold an in-game cancer survivor walk. Those interested in participating may check in at the Laurel Eye Clinic Customer Service Booth behind home plate.

The team's brief stay at home concludes with a youth baseball clinic before a day game on Sunday. Every Sunday in Curve, PA is a Ritchey's Dairy Kids' Club game.
