HARRISBURG — Harrisburg plated 10 runs across the sixth, seventh and eighth innings on its way to a 12-6 win over the Altoona Curve on Friday night at FNB Field.

Lefty Dominic Perachi tossed five strong innings, but left in the sixth inning after a leadoff double, and the Senators plated three runs in the frame against righty Jake Shirk. He joined the team for his debut on Friday. Shirk was touched for four runs, three earned, in 1ª innings of relief.

Harrisburg held a 2-0 lead in the fifth when Shawn Ross slammed a solo homer to left center to make it a 2-1 game. It turned out to be the only blemish on Senators starter Jackson Kent who struck out seven and earned the win with 5ª innings in his start.

Altoona rallied for two runs in the seventh inning, using a double from Callan Moss and a pair of Senators errors. After Titus Dumitru reached on an error, Omar Alfonzo reached on a fielder’s choice and advanced to second when Seaver King threw away a potential double play ball.

Harrisburg scored twice in the bottom of the seventh and put the game away with a pair of homers in the eighth off Emmanuel Chapman and Jaden Woods. Former Curve infielder Kervin Pichardo went 2-for-2 with a two-run homer and a double.

Altoona managed three late runs in the top of the ninth when Will Taylor drew a bases-loaded walk and Jesus Castillo singled home two more runs.

Ross and Moss paced the Curve with a pair of hits each. Curve pitchers issued seven walks.
