wall, and the height of the wall at 8 feet
Billboards also ring around by the walls, and reach a height of
16 feet
Anything that hits the billboards are home runs

#01
"The Harrisburg Senators matched a five-run Curve seventh
inning with five runs of their own in the bottom of the frame
and went on to a 9-6 win over Altoona Saturday night at Commerce
Bank Park
Brett Roneberg's three-run homer capped the Curve's five-run outburst
in the top half of the seventh and gave Altoona their first lead
of the game at 6-3
The longball was the Australia native's third of the season
Four Curve players - Roneberg, Andrew McCutchen, Steven Pearce
and Brian Peterson - finished the game with two hits"
#02
"The Senators rallied from a 6-3 deficit to defeat the Altoona
Curve 9-6 in front of the largest crowd to see a game this season
Harrisburg scored first on a two-run home run off the bat of Cristian
Guerrero in the fourth inning
Seth Bynum then doubled in Steve Mortimer for a third run in the
fourth to give the Sens a 3-0 lead
But then Altoona came back, scoring a single run in sixth, then
a five-run seventh inning highlighted by a three-run home run
by Brett Roneberg, to take a 6-3 lead in the ballgame
On Saturday night though, the Senators weren't going to be denied
and fought back with six unanswered runs"
#03
"Brett Roneberg drove in four runs for Altoona (29-29), three
with his third homer of the season in the seventh"
#04
"The Curve
had rallied to take a 4-3 lead on Brett Ronebergs three-run
homer in the seventh"
#05
"The Senators'
five-run outburst in the bottom of the seventh was necessitated
by a sloppy top of the inning
With right-hander T.J. Nall cruising through six innings, holding
onto a 3-1 lead, Harrisburg unraveled
Jason Bowers grounded a one-out single to center
Andrew McCutchen followed by blooping another single to shallow
center, a ball that normally would have been caught except for
a slow jump by center fielder Sheldon Fulse
Had Fulse made the catch, Bowers was a dead duck at first base,
as he was running on the play
Instead, former Senator Brett Roneberg drilled a three-run homer
to left-center, handing the Curve (29-29) a 4-3 lead
Brian Peterson later lined a two-run double to right-center to
extend the advantage to 6-3"
#06
"Altoona (Double-A, 29-29) lost, 9-6, at Harrisburg (Nationals)
Leftfielder Brett Roneberg hit a three-run home run and had four
RBIs"
