Pirates' prospect Jose Tabata was taken out of the Altoona Curve's game in the 3rd inning tonight, after apparently pulling his hamstring while running to first base on a ground out.
3B Pedro Alvarez's�solo home run in the top of the 7th inning gave Lynchburg the go-ahead run and the win tonight. �Alvarez went 1-for-3 at the plate, walked twice, and struck out once.
Ronald Uviedo gave up two runs in the 1st inning, when he walked the first batter, then�gave up a 2-run homer to the third Pelicans' batter. �The Hillcats tied the score at 2-2 in the 4th inning, when their first three batters reached base safely: �a double by 1B Matt Hague, a single by DH Kent Sakamoto, and a walk to C Kris Watts. �2B Eddie Prasch grounded out, which let Hague score. �CF Marcus Davis brought in the tying run with his RBI single. �
The tie didn't last long. �Myrtle Beach took the lead again in the bottom of the inning, on a single, a double, a sacrifice squeeze bunt, and a sacrifice fly. �
Uviedo pitched 5 innings, and gave up those 4 runs on 7 hits and 2 walks, and he struck out 7 batters. �Dustin Molleken came on to begin the 6th inning, and he pitched 3 scoreless innings. �He allowed only one hit and no walks over those three innings,�while striking out 5 batters. �RJ Rodriguez added another strikeout to the Hillcats' total (13) as he pitched a scoreless 9th inning, to earn his league-leading 7th save of the season. �
The Hillcats nibbled away at the Pelicans' lead with a run in each of the next three innings. �Alvarez walked in the 5th, went to third on Hague's single, and scored when the Myrtle Beach second baseman couldn't handle a ball off Sakamoto's bat. �In the 6th, Davis led off with a triple, and he scored on LF Maiko Loyola's RBI single, again tying the game. �Alvarez led off the 7th inning with a long fly ball over the right field wall, and that proved to be the game-winner. �
The Altoona Curve and the West Virginia Power both had a scheduled day off today.
