The Curve then scored three runs in the eighth inning on RBI-singles from Andres Alvarez and Matt Fraizer, as well as a Macias RBI groundout. Josh Bissonette hit an RBI-single in the third inning off Ethan Lindow to score Altoona's first run. Gonzales later hit a sacrifice fly in the inning.
The Curve used eight pitchers in the contest. Matt Eckelman threw a scoreless first before Bear Bellomy allowed three runs on five hits in two innings. Nick Dombkowski allowed five runs in 0.1 innings before Jeff Passantino allowed a run in 0.2 frames. Omar Cruz tossed a scoreless frame and Austin Roberts followed with two more scoreless innings. Brad Case and Cameron Junker each threw a scoreless inning to end the game.
