#01 - Curve
celebrate fourth straight Eastern League playoff berth after 4-2
win
One night after Akron was crowned Southern Division Champs, it
was the Curve’s turn to celebrate, as they defeated the Aeros,
4-2, on Wednesday to claim their fourth straight trip to the Eastern
League playoffs
The Curve entered the game with a magic number of two to reach
the post-season and when third-place Reading lost to New Britain
in the first game of a twinbill, the Curve only had to win to
punch their playoff ticket
They would score all the runs they needed in the first inning
when Brett Roneberg blasted a three-run home run to give the Curve
a lead they would not surrender

One out later, Roneberg lifted a fly ball over the right-field
fence for his ninth homer
Javier Guzman delivered a run-scoring single in the fourth to
give the Curve a 4-0 lead
#03 - The

The Curve players, coaching staff, and management personnel alike

Altoona clinched a berth in the Eastern League playoffs for the
fourth straight season, wrapping up second place in the Southern
Division behind Akron, who the Curve beat, 4-2 before an announced
