BOWIE, Md. -- Sean Sullivan allowed five total base runners in six innings with six strikeouts for the Curve on Wednesday night in an 11-2 win over Bowie at Prince George's Stadium.
The Curve (16-17) enjoyed a 14-hit night.
Sullivan allowed two runs in the sixth inning after stringing together five scoreless frames to open the game.
Heston Kjerstad knocked a two-out single to left to score Billy Cook, who reached on a lead-off walk. Kjerstad got caught in a rundown between first and second after Fabricio Macias relayed the throw back to the infield, allowing Coby Mayo to score before being tagged out to end the frame. Before the sixth inning, Sullivan had only allowed two base runners, picking off one of them at second base.
The Curve scored three runs in the top of the first. After a Liover Peguero lead-off walk and back-to-back singles from Lolo Sanchez and Henry Davis, Matt Gorski and Jacob Gonzalez each lifted sacrifice flies to make it a 2-0. Drew Maggi then doubled in a run to make it 3-0.
Altoona added five runs in the sixth for an 8-0 lead. Andres Alvarez hit a one-out single off reliever Connor Gillispie before Matt Fraizer moved him to third and reached second on a throwing error by the Noelberth Romero.
Peguero then hit his fourth double of the week to score two. Bowie believed that Peguero missed first base, but when Gillispie stepped off for the appeal, Peguero stole third base.
Sanchez singled home Peguero in the next at-bat to make it a 6-0 game. Gorski knocked his fourth double of the season to left to score Sanchez. Davis, who walked, scored on a Gonzalez ground out to give the Curve the five-run frame.
Cameron Junker worked a scoreless seventh inning for the Curve before Brad Case shut down the Baysox over the final two innings. Case struck out four batters in his two scoreless innings of relief.
