Altoona and Portland were suspended in the fifth inning of their game on Friday night at Peoples Natural Gas Field. Altoona trails the Sea Dogs, 3-1, in the bottom of the fifth inning before the rain arrived and forced the teams from the field. Curve starter Wilber Dotel tossed five innings and struck out four batters as he navigated occasional rain showers throughout his outing. Dotel allowed three runs on three hits and one walk. Portland scored their first run in the fourth inning on a solo homer from Allen Castro.
The teams will pick up the suspended game today at 4:00 p.m. and play it to its completion before playing a 7-inning game.
