Erie SeaWolves News Release


The SeaWolves could not complete a doubleheader sweep on Sunday as they fell in game two to the Altoona Curve by a count of 4-2 at Jerry Uht Park.

The Curve broke a scoreless game in the top of the fourth inning against Erie starter Luke French. Brad Corley walked with two outs and Jason Delaney followed with a two-run home run to right field to put the Curve ahead 2-0.

Altoona would take the lead by four runs in the top of the fifth. Once again with two outs, Miguel Perez and Melvin Dorta connected on back-to-back singles. James Boone then doubled to center, scoring both runners, giving the Curve a 4-0 lead.

The 'Wolves responded in the bottom of the fifth. With one out, Will Rhymes and Kody Kirkland singled bringing Ryan Roberson to the plate. Roberson, who already doubled in the game, connected on a two-run double to make it 4-2 in favor of the Curve. Erie, however, would get no closer, falling by that score.

French (5-10) took the loss despite tossing a complete game. It was his second complete game of the season. He allowed four runs on seven hits in seven innings of work. French struck out three while walking a pair.

The loss gave the Curve a season-series victory over the 'Wolves.

- Ryan Roberson has hit safely in 33 of his last 36 games and he now leads the 'Wolves with 53 RBI.
