Nick Gonzales recorded his first four-hit game of the season, and helped with the sixth walk-off win for the Curve on the year, as Altoona beat Harrisburg, 3-2, in the 10th inning of the second game of the day Wednesday night.
Altoona fell in 11 innings, 7-4, in the first game at PNG Field. It was the completion of Tuesday's suspended game which was called, tied at 2-2, after seven innings.
In the 7-4 loss, the Curve jumped out to a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the first inning on a Liover Peguero bases-loaded single that scored two runs. Harrisburg, which scored in the top of the first on a wild pitch, tied the game in the fifth inning on a Jackson Cluff solo home run.
Altoona's Kyle Nicolas allowed two runs on three hits in five innings with five strikeouts and a career-high five walks. Luis Reyes allowed two runs on seven hits in six innings for Harrisburg.
Harrisburg scored five runs in the top of the 11th inning off Tyler Samaniego to put the game out of reach. The Curve got RBI singles from Connor Scott and Lolo Sanchez but could not get any closer than that.
In the Curve victory, the Senators got a two-run home run from Trey Harris in the top of the first inning off Quinn Priester.
Priester settled in after the blast, going a season-long seven innings and allowing just the two runs on three hits with three walks and six strikeouts. Tahnaj Thomas tossed two scoreless innings with one strikeout.
The Curve tied the game up in the third inning. Andres Alvarez had an RBI single off Tim Cate in the second inning to score Aaron Shackelford, who led off the inning with a double. In the third, Peguero stroked an RBI single to score Gonzales, who also led off the frame with a double.
Cate kept Altoona quiet from there, going six innings and allowing just two runs on seven hits. Steven Fuentes tossed three scoreless innings to send the game into extra-innings for the second time on the night.
J.C. Flowers worked around a runner with two strikeouts in a scoreless 10th inning to earn the win. With Jared Triolo on second, Gonzales crushed the first pitch he saw off Reid Schaller into center for the win.
