IronPigs-Bisons to Play Doubleheader Wednesday

May 5, 2009 - International League (IL) Lehigh Valley IronPigs

(Allentown, Pa.) -- The second game of a doubleheader between the Lehigh Valley IronPigs and Buffalo Bisons at Coca-Cola Park on Tuesday has been postponed due to rain. The game has been rescheduled as part of a doubleheader beginning at 5:35 p.m. on Wednesday, May 6, at Coca-Cola Park. Both contests are scheduled for seven innings and only one ticket is needed for admission to both games.

Due to the postponement, fans holding tickets to Tuesday's doubleheader can exchange each ticket for a ticket of equal or lesser value to any remaining 2009 home game. All ticket exchanges must be made in-person at the Coca-Cola Park Ticket Office (no phone or internet exchanges). Ticket exchanges are subject to availability.

Wednesday's doubleheader begins at 5:35 p.m. and all gates open at 4:30 p.m. The first 3,500 fans attending Wednesday's doubleheader will receive "Golf Ball" Logo Baseballs presented by Allentown Municipal Golf Course. Japan Night, which was originally scheduled for Monday but postponed due to rain, has also been rescheduled for Wednesday.

In the opening game of the twin bill on Tuesday, RHP Justin Lehr tossed his first career shutout, allowing just three hits en route to an IronPigs 3-0 victory. The victory snapped the IronPigs mini two-game losing streak and improved the team to 11-13 on the year. Buffalo fell to a league-worst 4-19 in defeat.

The pitching probables for the doubleheader are as follows:

Game 1: RHP Kyle Kendrick (2-1, 2.77) vs. RHP Tim Redding (0-0, 0.00) for Buffalo

Game 2: RHP Carlos Carrasco (0-2, 4.50) vs. RHP Kyle Snyder (0-2, 5.06) for Buffalo
