The Altoona Curve routed the Erie Seawolves 14-3 at PNG Field last night.
Aaron Shackelford had an excellent night, slugging two home runs as part of four hit on the night for Altoona. It was his first multi-homer game of his career, driving in three in the fourth inning and two in the fifth. Matt Gorski had a bases-clearing double in the fifth that scored three and a solo homer in the third. He finished just a triple shy of hitting for the cycle. Lolo Sanchez also went yard for the Curve in the third inning.
Starter Carmen Mlodzinski allowed two runs on three hits in only two-thirds of an inning. He was pulled after throwing 36 pitches to get two outs and getting the bases loaded. The bullpen came through with Travis McGregor picking up the win, Tyler Samaiego holding the lead and Nick Dombkowski getting the save.
The two teams play again tonight on Indiana County Night at PNG Field. Austin Roberts will start for Altoona.
