From Curve reports:
(Altoona, PA) – Akron infielder Beau Mills
doubled in two runs in the top of the 12th inning as the division leading Akron
Aeros (AA-Cleveland Indians) defeated the Altoona Curve in the opening game of
their three game series 6-3 Tuesday night at Blair County Ballpark
After
falling behind 1-0 early Altoona plated three consecutive runs with RBIs coming
from Jonel Pacheco, Ray Chang, and Durham to give the Curve a 3-1 lead. Durham
and Pacheco each finished the night 2-for-4 with an RBI. Pacheco had his fifth
consecutive multi-hit game with a double and a triple on the night.
It
would be all Akron from there scoring two runs in the sixth on a double by
Carlos Rivero to tie the game and then three more runs in the 12th to seal the
deal.
Curve righty Derek Hankins had his longest outing of the season in
relief of LHP Donnie Veal who was rehabbing for Pittsburgh. Hankins tossed 6.1
innings allowing two runs on six hits with four strikeouts. Veal had his
longest rehab appearance in 2.1 innings of work striking out five.
