Erie SeaWolves News Release
The SeaWolves fell to the Altoona Curve on Thursday night at Blair County Ballpark by a score of 6-1.
The SeaWolves broke a scoreless tie in the top of the fourth inning. Jeff Frazier led off the inning and connected on his third home run of the season to give the âWolves a 1-0 lead.
The Curve struck back in the bottom of the fifth inning, taking the lead for good. Milver Reyes led off and drew a walk. Brian Finegan followed with a sacrifice bunt attempt to move Milver into scoring position. On the play, Erie's starter Luke French bobbled the ball and both runners were safe. James Boone followed and laid down another sacrifice bunt and on the play, Max St. Pierre threw the ball into right field allowing Reyes to score, tying the game at 1-1. With Finegan at third and Boone on second, French delivered a wild pitch allowing Finegan to score, giving the Curve a 2-1 advantage. Boone, who advanced to third on the wild pitch, scored on a Melvin Dorta sacrifice fly to make it 3-1 Altoona.
The Curve added a pair of runs in the bottom of the sixth. Jason Delaney led off with a triple and was doubled home by Luis Cruz for a 4-1 lead. Cruz would later score in the inning on a Boone base knock to give Altoona a four-run lead at 5-1.
Altoona would go ahead 6-1 in the bottom of the seventh when Corley scored on a Cruz ground ball that was ruled an error.
Three Altoona pitchers, starter Yoslan Herrera (1-1), former SeaWolf Brian Rogers and Kevin Robers held the âWolves offense to just one run on five hits. The one run for Erie ties a season-low, which was last done on April 9 at Harrisburg.
