For the second time in as many days, Altoona rallied from behind to beat the Portland Sea Dogs on Sunday by a score of 7-5.
Temarr Johnson had a two-run homer in the sixth that went an estimated 424 feet, marking the sixth homer with the Curve this season. Maikol Escotto tied things up with a run-scoring double in the seventh, but Portland took the lead again in the top of the 8th. In the bottom of the 8th, with the bases loaded, Brendan Dixon brought home the tying run after he was hit by the pitch. Shawn Ross then drove in two runs on a single to give the Curve the 7-5 victory.
Po-Yu Chen tossed six innings in his longest start of the season, needing just 79 pitches to work through his outing. Wilkin Ramos got the last five outs, taking the win.
The Curve is headed to New Hampshire to take on the Fisher Cats in a six-game series starting tomorrow.
