Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release


Columbus, Ohio - With the bases loaded and two outs of a tie game in the 10th inning, David Dahl stepped up and ripped a game-winning two-run single to propel the Lehigh Valley IronPigs (22-32) past the Columbus Clippers (21-34) by a final score of 8-6 on Saturday evening.

Columbus broke the ice in the bottom of the first as they put the first three runners on base. Juan Brito slugged an RBI double before a sacrifice fly for George Valera made it 2-0.

An RBI fielder's choice for Simon Muzziotti got the 'Pigs on the board in the second before Weston Wilson vaulted them ahead with a two-run homer in the fourth, his seventh of the season.

In the sixth, Esteban Quiroz doubled to start the frame and Muzziotti drove him in with a triple. Cal Stevenson then tripled in Muzziotti with Jim Haley then capping the rally with a double to plate Stevenson, making it 6-2.

Columbus answered back with four in the bottom of the sixth to tie the game. After a leadoff single, another base hit by Micah Pries, and subsequent throwing error on the play, brought in a run and put Pries at third who then scored on a groundout. Raynel Delgado then went yard, his second of the year, to make it a one-run game. A walk and hit-by-pitch put two aboard for Brito, wo shot a single to rightfield, scoring the tying run.

The game stayed tied at 6-6 until the 10th, where Dahl came through for the IronPigs, driving in two runs with a single to win the game 8-6.

Max Lazar (1-1) earned his first Triple-A win for the IronPigs, as he retired all six hitters he faced to work two scoreless innings, striking out two.
