HARRISBURG — First baseman Nick Cimillo became the second Altoona Curve player in franchise history to hit for the cycle in a 14-3 win over the Harrisburg Senators on Friday night at FNB Field.

With the win, Altoona holds a one-game lead in the Southwest Division with 14 games remaining in the second half of the season.

After striking out in his first at-bat of the night, Cimillo singled in the third, doubled in the fourth, knocked a solo homer in the fifth and tripled in the eighth inning to complete the second cycle in franchise history. Cimillo joins Andrew Lambo (2013) as the only Curve players in franchise history to turn the trick. Cimillo finished the night 5-for-6 after he added a single in the ninth inning.

Konnor Griffin and Esmerlyn Valdez each blasted two home runs, giving the Curve a season-high five homers in the win. It was the most homers hit in a game by the Curve since last May at Erie.

Griffin picked up his second three-hit game since joining Altoona, giving him 19 total on the season. His first career multi-homer game included a three-run shot in the fifth inning and a two-run blast in the ninth inning, giving him a new career-high of seven RBIs.

Griffin’s seven RBIs were the most by a Curve player since Erich Weiss drove in seven runs in 2016 at New Hampshire, one shy of matching the franchise record of eight RBIs held by Alex Dickerson (2013) and Alex Presley (2010).

Pitcher Emmanuel Chapman matched a season-long outing with four innings of two-run ball, picking up three strikeouts. Landon Tomkins earned the win with two scoreless frames of relief. Mike Walsh tossed two innings and permitted one run with a pair of strikeouts before Wyatt Hendrie tossed a scoreless ninth inning to save the bullpen in the lopsided victory.
