Altoona drove a season-high six home runs in the rout. Henry Davis, Andres Alvarez, and Matt Fraizer also added long balls.
For Erie, Gage Workman broke out. He started the SeaWolves’ scoring with a long, second inning triple. He homered in the fourth, singled in the sixth, and tallied a second homer in the eighth. He had a homer from each side of the plate.
Colt Keith, Julio Rodriguez, and Mario Feliciano all had doubles. Rodriguez and Feliciano drove home runs on their extra-base hits.
