Scott Bandura 

 Scott Bandura hit a two-out single in the ninth inning at The Diamond on Sunday night to give the Richmond Flying Squirrels a 6-5 win over the Altoona Curve. 

The Flying Squirrels (43-68, 22-22 second half) snapped a three-game losing streak and earned their second win of the series against the first-place Curve (56-57, 26-19). 

Sabin Ceballos tied the game in the eighth with an RBI double off the left-field wall that scored Carter Howell against Altoona reliever Jaden Woods (5-4). 

Will Bednar (1-2) stranded a runner at second in the top of the ninth before Richmond mounted its winning rally. Diego Velasquez was hit by a pitch, Victor Bericoto walked, and Bandura lined a single to center to score Velasquez ahead of a throw from Mitch Jebb. 

Bo Davidson opened the scoring with a solo homer in the first inning, his third at Double-A. Velasquez added a two-out RBI single in the second, and Aeverson Arteaga doubled home another run in the fourth before scoring on a balk to make it 4-0. 

Altoona began its comeback with a two-run homer by Javier Rivas in the fifth and an RBI single by Omar Alfonzo in the sixth. Nick Cimillo hit his fourth homer of the series, a two-run shot in the eighth, to give the Curve a brief 5-4 lead. 

Trystan Vrieling started for Richmond and allowed two runs on one hit over five innings, striking out five. Marquis Johnson added 1 1/3 scoreless innings of relief. 

The Flying Squirrels opened a six-game road series Tuesday against the Chesapeake Baysox. 

The Squirrels return home Aug. 26-31 for a six-game set against the Akron RubberDucks.
