HARRISBURG -- Jackson Glenn crushed a three-run home run for Altoona as part of a four-run sixth inning that fueled a come-from-behind victory for the Curve over the Senators, 5-3, on Thursday night at FNB Field.
It was Glenn's second home run in 14 games since his call up from High-A Greensboro.
Chavez Young opened the frame with a single off starter Alex Troop and stole second base before Tsung-Che Cheng doubled to to tie the game 2-2.
Mason Martin then drew a walk to set up the game-deciding blast for Glenn, a shot to left field.
Harrisburg scored two runs in the first off starter Anthony Solometo. With the bases loaded and two outs, Terone Harris III singled to score Robert Hassell III and Trey Lipscomb to put Altoona in an early hole. Solometo settled in to toss five innings, allowing just the two runs in the first on five hits, one walk, and five strikeouts to earn his second win in Double-A.
Altoona scored its first run in the top of the second on a Matt Fraizer RBI groundout to second, scoring Glenn who was hit by a pitch, and advanced to third on a Connor Scott double.
Mike Jarvis extended his hitting streak to four games with his third consecutive multi-hit game in the series, finishing 3-for-4 with three singles and two stolen bases. In three games this week, Jarvis has recorded eight hits.
Tahnaj Thomas tossed a scoreless sixth on seven pitches before Justin Meis entered to throw the final three innings and earn his first professional save. Meis allowed a run on two hits, including a home run by Hassell to open the eighth inning. He struck out three and walked two.
Dylan Shockley threw out two baserunnes for Altoona. It was the third time this season that Shockley has recorded multiple outs on runners caught stealing. He is now 16-for-40 on the season behind the dish. The Curve turned two double plays in the win, increasing their league-leading mark to 85 on the campaign.
Altoona continues its six-game series tonight at 7 p.m. Sean Sullivan takes the ball for the Curve against Mitchell Parker for Harrisburg.
