CURVE, Pa. - Friday night's series opener between the Curve and Portland Sea Dogs at Peoples Natural Gas Field has been postponed due to rain in the Altoona area. The game will be made up on Saturday, June 2 as part of a doubleheader beginning at 6 p.m.
Fans who had tickets to Friday night's (June 1st) contest at Peoples Natural Gas Field can exchange them for any other remaining 2012 Altoona Curve game for equal or lesser value based on availability.
The Curve and Sea Dogs will open their series on Saturday with a 6 o'clock first pitch for the doubleheader, and both games on the night will be seven-inning contests. Saturday is Buccomania at the ballpark with an appearance from the Pirate Parrot and Pierogies presented by WTAJ-TV as well as a Pirates hat giveaway to the first 1,000 fans through the gates presented by Pepsi.
