Harrisburg Senators News Release


On Friday night in Altoona the Senators bats came to life to the tune of nine runs in defeating the Curve 9-3. Ten different Sens had hits in the game, including three from Freddie Bynum.

The Sens pounded out 15 hits in the game, scoring runs in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh innings to cruise home. Joel Guzman homered in the fourth and then with two outs starting pitcher Cory VanAllen drove in the second run of the game with a single.

After scoring a run in the fifth, the Sens broke the game open with five runs in the sixth inning. It was a very long inning due to the Sens sending 11 batters to the plate and enduring a 49-minute rain delay.

VanAllen started for the Sens and wasn't able to get out of the fifth inning so the win went to Clint Everts who moved to 1-1 with the Sens.

Dmitri Young had a couple of doubles and Guzman, with the home run, extended his hitting streak to seven games, his second seven game hitting streak this season. The two teams stranded a combined 26 runners in the game with Altoona tying their season high stranding 14 while the Sens stranded 12.

With the win the Sens snapped a four-game losing streak to the Curve and improved to 39-52 on the season while Altoona dropped to 34-59.

The four-game series continues on Saturday night with RH Erik Arnesen taking the mound for the Sens against RH Derek Hankins for the Curve.
