The Erie SeaWolves (18-33) had a late rally cut short as a crucial blunder ultimately sent them to a 4-3 defeat to the Altoona Curve (32-20).

The Curve threw the first punch in the opening frame as Adam Frazier led off with a base hit on the game's very first pitch. Max Moroff would advance Frazier on a sacrifice bunt, and Frazier would reach third on a Josh Bell groundout. He would then come into score on Willy Garcia's RBI single as Altoona quickly took a 1-0 lead.

The SeaWolves immediately responded in the bottom of the first as Harold Castro led off with a base hit, reached third on Jason Krizan's single, and came home on an RBI base knock from Wynton Bernard. Krizan would then advance to third, and then a Dean Green sacrifice fly to center would bring him home giving Erie a 2-1 lead.

The Curve answered in the third as Max Moroff took the very first pitch of the third inning smacked it for a single. After advancing to second on a wild pitch, Moroff would then be moved to third on a double play groundout. Another wild pitch brought him home as Altoona tied the game 2-2.

The Curve regained the lead in the sixth inning as Dan Gamache got aboard with a leadoff base hit. He would reach third on Eric Wood's single, and come in to score on Jacob Stallings' sacrifice fly to center as the Curve went up 3-2.

Altoona added onto their lead in the seventh as Frazier would lead off with a single. He would then advance to second on Moroff's sacrifice bunt, and reach third on Josh Bell single. Moroff would then be caught in a pickle between third and home. An error on a missed tag by catcher Austin Green would result in another run for Altoona as they would go up 4-2

The SeaWolves answered in the eighth as Krizan sent a leadoff home run to right-center as Erie trimmed the deficit to 4-3. In the ninth, Connor Harrell led off with a walk and advanced to second on Austin Green's sacrifice fly before reaching third on a Josh Prince single. However, Harold Castro hit into a game-ending double play.

Curve pitcher Jason Creasy (7-0) earned the win, giving up two runs on five hits in 6 2/3 innings, two walks and a strikeout. Jhondaniel Medina picked his second save of the season, giving up a hit and a walk in one inning of relief.

SeaWolves pitcher Warwick Saupold (1-3) took the loss, giving up three runs on eleven hits in 6 innings while striking out three.
