WILD PITCH EARNS READING WILD VICTORY OVER CURVE, 8-7
Reading's Edgar Cruz scored on a Rick Palma wild pitch in the bottom of the 10th inning to cap a wild game as the Phillies defeated the Altoona Curve 8-7 on Saturday night at First Energy Stadium in Reading.
This loss, the Curve's first on its current nine-game road trip, was particulary hard to swallow as Altoona (14-13) held a 6-2 lead entering the bottom of the seventh inning, following a three-run home run by Josh Bonifay.
The blast, his team-leading sixth of the season, marked the fourth consecutive game in which the Double-A rookie has homered. A long ball tomorrow equals Adam Hyzdu's club record for most consecutive games with a homer (five games).
The Phillies plated four runs in the seventh, highlighted by a Jeff Inglin three-run home run off of Curve reliever Brady Borner that equaled the game at 6-6, and then scored the go-ahead run in the eighth when Mamon Tucker singled home Juan Richardson.
However, for the second consecutive night, trailing entering the ninth inning, the Curve scored the tying run to send the game to extra frames.
Brett Roneberg led off the inning with a double to right-center off of Reading reliever Josh Miller.
Roneberg then went third on Shawn Garrett's single to right.
Three batters later Chan Perry, the Eastern League's second-leading hitter, grounded into a fielder's choice that scored Roneberg from third, tying the game at 7-7.
After the Curve left a man at second base in the top of the inning, the R-Phils produced the game-winning run in the bottom of the tenth when Edgar Cruz and Nate Espy each blooped singles after one out putting men at first and third.
Palma's first pitch to Anderson Machado skipped in the dirt and got past catcher Chris Heintz allowing Cruz to cruise home with the winning run.
Palma (0-2) was charged with his second loss of the season.
The Curve bullpen, which was represented by Jeff Bennett, Borner and Palma, hadn't allowed an earned run in the first four games of the roadtrip, but was touched for six runs in four innings of work on Saturday.
Starter Sean Burnett was outstanding through five innings, but ran into trouble in the sixth, walking two batters and giving up two hits before being pulled.
The Pirates' 2000 first rounder was charged with two earned runs on four hits in his 5 1/3 innings of work.
He walked a season-high three batters and struck out just two.
The Curve wasted a chance to move into a first place tie with Akron, which lost on Saturday afternoon at Norwich.
The loss not only ended the club's four-game winning streak, but it also ended Altoona's personal seven-game winning streak against Reading.

CRUZ CRUISES HOME WITH WINNING RUN
R-Phils catcher Edgar Cruz crosses home on a wild pitch in the bottom of the 10th inning for an 8-7 R-Phils win.
When you're struggling, you take 'em any way you can get 'em.
Edgar Cruz scored on a wild pitch in the 10th inning Saturday night, and the Reading Phillies escaped with an 8-7 win over the visiting Altoona Curve.
The Curve (14-13) had won seven straight against Reading this season and leads the series 7-3.
With one out in the 10th, Cruz opened with a bloop single just inside the line in right field that fell among three Curve fielders. (as the first-baseman, was Brett involved here??? - see below)
Nate Espy, struggling offensively in the early going, also singled, Cruz going to third.
With Anderson Machado at bat, Rick Palma's first pitch to him sailed to the screen, and the Phillies (10-17) danced off with the victory.
The Phillies trailed 3-0 after five innings and 6-2 entering their half of the seventh.
Jorge Padilla, who went 4-for-5, singled in a run.
Then Jeff Inglin ripped a 2-0 pitch from Brady Borner deep to left-center, tying the game at 6-6.
It was Inglin's team-high fifth homer of the season.
Mamon Tucker's RBI single in the eighth put the Phillies up 7-6, but as they did Friday night in a 5-4 victory in 11 innings, the Curve tied it in the ninth, this time on pinch-hitter Chan Perry's force-out grounder to third.
Altoona got home runs from John Bonifay, his sixth, and Jose Castillo.
Bonifay, who knocked in four runs, had four RBIs.
Brett Roneberg went 3-for-5 with two doubles.
The Phillies got a decent outing from starter Mike Wilson.
The big right-hander went six innings, allowing two earned runs and six hits.
He struck out three and walked three.
The win went to Yoel Hernandez (1-0), who pitched a scoreless 10th. Palma (0-2) took the loss.

Confusion!!! - an excerpt from the Reading Eagle newspaper
Cruz, known for his strong throwing arm, and not his .216 batting average, started the 10th-inning rally with an unlikely hit.
He popped a fly ball down the right-field line, then saw it land safely just inside the line as the first baseman, second baseman and right fielder all converged, each looking at the other to make the play.
