Sunday’s Sports Roundup includes a check of the Pirates, the Altoona Curve, and the Steelers.
After two dormant weeks, the Pirates offense finally woke up Saturday night in Milwaukee as the Bucs snapped a four-game losing streak with a 9-1 win over the Brewers. Jameson Taillon gave up one run and five hits in six innings to earn his 10th win and Adam Frazier hit a three-run home run. Colin Moran was 4-for-5 for the Pirates, who look to win the series this afternoon with Chris Archer on the mound.
You can hear the game on WCCS, AM 1160 and 101.1 FM, beginning at 1:10 with the pregame show.
The Altoona Curve swept a doubleheader from Richmond and clinched an Eastern League playoff berth. James Marvel threw a seven-inning complete game for a 9-2 win in the first game and Scooter Hightower threw six shutout innings to lead the way to a 3-0 win in the nightcap.
The Steelers beat Tennessee 16-6 in preseason football, with Ben Roethlisberger seeing his first game action and completing 11 of 18 passes for 114 yards and a touchdown.
