In the minors, the Altoona Curve’s late-game rally fell short as they fell to the Hartford Yard Goats 6-5.
Trailing by two runs entering the ninth, Altoona picked up three straight hits to start the final inning of the night and loaded the bases with nobody out. Lonnie White Jr. singled home a run with a single to left, however, Hartford righty Andrew Baker struck out three straight hitters to strand the tying run at third and go-ahead run at second for the Curve. Titus Dumitru had a solo homer as part of a two-hit night.
The two teams will play tonight with Matt Ager starting for the Curve.
