Altoona Curve News Release
ERIE, PA - Altoona dropped their second extra-inning game of the season, falling 6-4 to the Erie SeaWolves on Wednesday afternoon at UPMC Park.
Termarr Johnson got Altoona's scoring starting with a no-doubt solo homer to lead off the fourth inning against lefty Carlos Pena. Johnson's fourth home run of the season made it 2-1 at the time and after Erie added another run in the bottom of the fourth, the Curve knocked Pena from the game after back-to-back doubles from Nick Cimillo and Mitch Jebb. The Curve loaded the bases after a pair of walks and stranded the bases loaded in the fifth as Mike Jarvis struck out to end the frame.
The Curve drew even in the sixth inning when Sammy Siani walked and then advanced on a pair of wild pitches to third base. Jack Brannigan singled home Siani with a hard grounder back toward the middle of the infield.
With the game tied at three, the Altoona bullpen combined to sit down 13 consecutive batters at one point after starter Po-Yu Chen tossed 4.1 innings of three-run ball. Jaden Woods, Wilkin Ramos and Cam Sanders combined for 5.2 scoreless innings to send the game into the 11th inning where Justin Meis quickly dispatched the side, stranding the placed runner at third.
In the 12th inning, Altoona finally got a run home on a sacrifice fly from Mike Jarvis, however, in the bottom half of the inning, his younger brother, Jim, lifted a game-tying sacrifice fly and after an infield single with two outs, Jake Holton slammed a walk-off two-run homer to end the game.
Mitch Jebb picked up two hits in the win giving him a team-best 14-game on-base streak this season.
The Curve continue their six-game series at Erie's UPMC Park on Thursday evening, Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers at 6:05 p.m. RHP Alessandro Ercolani will start for the Curve with RHP Garret Burrhen slated for the SeaWolves.
