Recap
The
Altoona Curve jumped ahead early against Binghamton Friday night, and then they
never took the foot off the gas pedal. B-Mets starter Robert Gsellman did not
have his customary control throughout, and his middle infielders missed a few
groundball out possibilities behind him early, which made it easy for the Curve
to take a 5-0 lead after two. Meanwhile, Curve starter Steven Brault tossed one
of his best games of the year for Altoona, throwing 8 shutout innings with only
the 3 singles allowed. The only time multiple B-Mets reached in the same inning
was during the 5th when Victor Cruzado and Jared King hit
back-to-back singles, and their other hit (from Albert Cordero) was erased by a
double play. The B-Mets did just clinch a postseason entry two games ago
against Reading, and they did have 2 players making their first AA start (Jeff
McNeil and Victor Cruzado), but those are weak excuses for only 3 singles in
one game.
This
series continues Saturday night at 7:05 PM, with Rainy Lara (8-5, 3.53 ERA)
scheduled to pitch opposite Zack Dodson (7-10, 3.83 ERA).
The
Curve loaded the bases with one out in the 1st inning, and then
Jacob Stallings singled home Max Moroff and Jose Osuna to give Altoona a 2-0
lead.
Andy
Vasquez and Steven Brault hit back-to-back singles with one out in the 2nd
inning, and then after a passed ball moved them into scoring position, Jose
Osuna singled them both home.
The
first 3 Altoona batters reached for a run in the 4th on a pair of
singles followed by an RBI double off the bat of Max Moroff.
Stetson
Allie launched his 17th homerun of the year off of Adam Kolarek in
the 5th inning.
Austin
Meadows led off the 9th with a triple and then scored on a sac fly
from Erich Weiss two batters later.
