the Curve offense
Roneberg finished 2-for-4 with two RBI’s and a run scored
#03 - Brett
Roneberg and Brandon Chaves each homered to power Altoona to victory
over Reading, 4-3, on Monday at Blair County Ballpark
Chaves got the Curve (25-13) on the board in the second inning
with a one-out solo homer to tie the game, 1-1
The very next inning, Roneberg delivered a two-run shot to right
field after Javier Guzman led off with a double
Roneberg and Guzman each went 2-for-4, and Roneberg has homered
in three of his last five games
#04 - Brett Roneberg went 2-for-4, belting his fifth home run of the year
#05 - Brett
Roneberg ripped a two-run homer, Brandon Chaves a solo shot and
the bullpen held on after Altoona took a one-run lead in the fifth
“The bullpen did an awesome job tonight” Roneberg said
“It was unbelievable
They held that lead, and what can I say about them, they do it
every single day”
Roneberg then launched his fifth homer with one out in the third
for a 3-1 Curve lead against Reading starter Allen Davis (1-2)
Roneberg just missed another homer in the seventh as his long
flyball to right was caught on the warning track
The outfielder hit 10 homers in 125 games for Altoona in 2003
and is already halfway to that total after just 19 games this
season
“Maybe I’m a bit better hitter, I guess” Roneberg
said with a laugh
“Maybe I wasn’t very good back then
But the ball does seem to fly a little bit better
Ever since they built those bleachers out in left field, it seems
to carry everywhere now
It’s a good thing for hitters for sure”
