Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release


The IL North champion Lehigh Valley IronPigs could host as many as five playoff games this September at Coca-Cola Park.

With Saturday's walk-off victory over the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, Lehigh Valley clinched the first division title in the team's 11-year history and secured a home playoff opener on Friday, Sept. 7 at 7:05 p.m.

The Pigs will open the International League Divisional Series on the road against whomever claims the IL Wild Card on Sept. 5-6. The best-of-five series shifts to Coca-Cola Park on Sept. 7 with further matchups on Saturday, Sept. 8 at 6:35 p.m. and Sunday, Sept. 9 at 5:35 p.m. if necessary.

Should Lehigh Valley advance to the IL Championship Series (Governor's Cup Finals), they would host Games 1 and 2 on Sept. 11-12 at 7:05 p.m.

Individual tickets and five-game plans for the 2018 IronPigs playoffs presented by Provident Bank are now available online at IronPigsBaseball.com, by phone at (610) 841-PIGS (7447) x1 and at the Coca-Cola Park ticket windows during regular business hours. The ticket windows are open Monday-Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Special playoff hats and shirts are now available at the Majestic Clubhouse Store and ShopIronPigs.com. A new shipment of red IL North Division Champions T-Shirts is expected in the next 48 hours after the initial stock of shirts sold out in less than one day.
