Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release
The IronPigs (3-7) will play the finale of a four-game series against the tied for first-place Rochester Red Wings (6-2) at Coca-Cola Park. After being swept in a doubleheader last night (L, 4-3; L, 5-1), the Pigs have dropped three straight games and have fallen to 1-5 on this current seven-game homestand. Going back to last season, the Pigs have dropped 12 of their last 15 contests to the Red Wings...
