Kervin Pichardo singled home two runs after back-to-back one out hits by Imanol Vargas and Aaron McKeithan. Altoona took the lead for good after Brenden Dixon doubled home two runs with the bases loaded.
Altoona put the game away with three more runs in the sixth and two more in the seventh. Aaron McKeithan blasted his first homer of the season in the sixth, part of a three-hit day. Imanol Vargas picked up three hits and drove in a run in the victory.
Mitch Jebb, Termarr Johnson and Brenden Dixon also recorded two-hit games. The team scored a season-high 11 runs on a season-high 17 hits.
