ERIE, PA – Altoona pitching piled up 12 strikeouts and held Erie to just four hits in a 3-1 win at UPMC Park on Sunday afternoon. Matt Fraizer and Brendt Citta picked up consecutive run-scoring hits in the deciding inning to lead the Curve offense. With the win, Altoona finished their series in Erie with an even 3-3 record.

Righty Mike Burrows turned in his fourth scoreless start of the season in the Mother’s Day victory. Burrows struck out back-to-back batters to start the game and struck out the side in order in the second inning on his way to six total strikeouts in 4.0 innings.

Altoona’s fourth inning rally led to three runs against Erie reliever Reese Olson. Nick Gonzales started the inning with his second walk of the game and Liover Peguero followed him with a single to right to set up the inning. Fraizer then dropped a base hit into left to take the 1-0 lead and Citta followed with a double that rolled to the wall in left to score Peguero and Fraizer.

The Curve bullpen turned in a strong outing in the series finale following Burrows’ outing. Will Kobos entered in the fifth inning and Erie used two walks, a wild pitch and a sacrifice fly to center to draw a run closer. But after picking up two outs, Altoona turned to lefty Zach Matson to finish the inning who struck out SeaWolves DH Dillon Dingler on three pitches to end the inning. Matson added a scoreless sixth inning and earned his second win of the season. Travis MacGregor then delivered two scoreless innings allowing just one baserunner and Colin Selby picked up his third save of the season, maneuvering through two ninth inning singles to finish the game.

The Curve make their triumphant return Peoples Natural Gas Field on Tuesday, May 10 for a six-game series with the Somerset Patriots, Double-A affiliate of the New York Yankees. RHP Luis Ortiz is slated to take the ball in the series opener for Altoona with RHP Jhony Brito on the mound for Somerset. First pitch is set for 6:00 p.m.
