CURVE, Pa. - After grabbing the first two games in the series, the Altoona Curve ended up splitting the four-game set against the Bowie Baysox with a 6-2 loss on Monday afternoon at Peoples Natural Gas Field.

With the loss, the Curve (48-42) head into the All-Streak Break two games behind the first-place Baysox (50-39) in the Eastern League's Western Division.

The Baysox grabbed another run in the third inning with an RBI single by Brandon Snyder. Trey Mancini connected for his second home run of the series, a solo shot to put Bowie in front 4-0.
The Curve would break the shutout with an RBI single by Dan Gamache, his third hit of the game against Baysox starter Terry Doyle (Win 10-1). Stetson Allie hit his 13th home run in the eighth, a solo homer to tie the league lead.
