Why it mattered
During a season filled with ups and downs, there was no high higher in 2019 than the Curve’s Fourth of July victory over the Erie SeaWolves. The back-and-forth contest was played in front of a sellout crowd of 8,806 fans, the ninth-largest regular season crowd in franchise history. On the field, there were a couple of firsts: it was the first July 4 game for the Curve that went into extra innings and the contest ended on a walk-off hit, the first walk-off win for the Curve in the team’s 21st July 4 game.
