(Allentown, PA) - Darick Hall turned in a huge night for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs (8-9) on Saturday evening as he guided them to an 10-8 win over the Rochester Red Wings (9-8). He homered twice in the game, doing so for the second time this homestand.
Hall got the scoring started for Lehigh Valley as he blasted a three-run home run in the bottom of the first inning against Logan Verrett (0-1).

Drew Maggi scored on a fielder's choice by Ronald Torreyes then Hall followed with a two-run double. Nick Maton followed with an RBI single of his own. Rochester scored two more runs against Mariot in the top of the fifth inning to trim Lehigh Valley's lead to 8-3.
