Season Highlights

Five Alive!
The Curve matched a single-game franchise record by hitting five home runs in a 13-3 win over New Britain on June 12
Steven Pearce and Brett Roneberg each hit a pair of longballs in the contest while Jason Bowers added the other homer
That marked just the third time in club history that Altoona has produced five home runs in a game

Contagious Clouts!
The June 12 game v New Britain marked the first of two occasions during the 2007 season in which two different Curve players recorded a pair of home runs in the same game
Steven Pearce and Brett Roneberg each went deep twice on June 12 and that feat was matched by Adam Boeve and Jason Delaney on July 16 v Bowie at Blair County Ballpark

A Day for the Record Books!
Jason Bowers and Brett Roneberg each put their name in the Curve record book during a 13-6 win at New Britain on June 7
Bowers became the first player in club history to record five base on balls in one game and also set a single-game mark by reaching base six times in the game, while Roneberg matched a team record by scoring four runs in the contest
The club’s 19 hits fell just two hits shy of equaling the team record of 21 set on May 1, 2001 v Harrisburg

Walk-off Winner!
Brett Roneberg provided the Curve with their first walk-off victory of the 2007 season with a fielder’s choice RBI grounder in the bottom of the ninth inning of an 8-7 win over Harrisburg on April 22
Roneberg, the Curve's 2006 Most Valuable Player who returned to Altoona after re-signing as a minor league free agent during the off-season, also homered and plated four runs in Altoona’s first walk-off winner of the season

All Stars Return!
A pair of 2006 Curve Eastern League All-Stars returned to open the 2007 season in Altoona
Outfielder Brett Roneberg, who was the MVP of the 2006 E.L. All-Star Game, returned for his third season in a Curve uniform (2003, 2006-07) while outfielder Vic Buttler, who was a member of the league’s post-season All-Star squad in '06, also returned after finishing the 2006 campaign at Triple-A Indianapolis
In addition to the returns of Roneberg and Buttler, the Opening Day Curve roster also featured 2006 E.L. All-Star Game winning pitcher Kip Bouknight (Harrisburg) and post-season All-Star and league RBI champion Randy Ruiz (Trenton)
Ruiz was also an E.L. post-season All-Star in 2005 with Reading after winning the league batting title (.349)
