The only trouble was half of the Pirates organization was rained out as the Indianapolis Indians, West Virginia Power, and the Curve were all postponed due weather. Some smell conspiracy…
@AltoonaCurve What’s the excuse today for rainouts with you, @indyindians and @wv_power ? Another @BWWings break for the Pirates teams?

The Curve returned to the diamond on the 16th, although diamond could be interchanged with tundra. With the temperatures hovering just above freezing the Curve took the last game of the series with a 5-2 win over the Senators.
@StuffSomersSays @HbgSenators @AltoonaCurve Nearly as cold at Metro Bank Park today as it is inside Consol Energy Center for a #Pens game. — Dave Sottile (@davesottile) April 16, 2014
Cold day to watch the @AltoonaCurve play but I’m not complaining. It’s better than sitting in class ⚾ pic.twitter.com/dhfNnM8xgz

The Curve then returned to Altoona where they started a home series against the Flying Squirrels from Richmond. To start the series even a Stetson Bomb was a little too late as the Curve dropped the first to the Squirrels.
#StetsonBooooooommmmbbbb in the ninth. Curve are now down, 2-1 with no one out.
