The Lehigh Valley IronPigs will look to win the series against the Norfolk Tides on Sunday afternoon at Coca-Cola Park. First pitch of the series finale is set for 1:35 p.m.

LHP Jesse Biddle (2-0, 4.05) gets the ball for the Pigs on Sunday. Biddle got a no-decision on Tuesday at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after giving up two runs (one earned) on one hit while walking five and fanning four over five innings of work. Thus far in 4 GS with Lehigh Valley, the Philadelphia native has struck out 17 batters in 20.0 IP. Biddle was 7-2 with a 4.24 ERA in 15 starts with Double-A Reading this season.

RHP Steve Johnson (4-1, 3.05) will be on the bump for Norfolk. Johnson's last outing came on Thursday at Pawtucket when he struck out the side in a perfect inning of relief. The right-hander will be making just his second start of the season. His lone start to date was back on May 12 vs. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre when he took the loss after giving up two runs on three hits to go along with a pair of strikeouts over two innings of work.

The first 2,000 fans 17 and under will receive a Wiffle Ball & Bat set presented by UGI Utilities.
