The Lehigh Valley IronPigs will look to avoid the sweep against the Louisville Bats on Sunday afternoon. First pitch from Coca-Cola Park is slated for 1:35 p.m.

RHP Zach Eflin (5-0, 2.05) will be on the bump for the IronPigs in the series finale. The right-hander got a no-decision on Tuesday at Pawtucket when he allowed four hits while walking one and fanning six over seven shutout innings. Eflin has allowed one earned run or less in 6 of his 8 GS this season.

LHP Cody Reed (3-2, 2.21) gets the ball for Louisville on Sunday afternoon. Reed got the win on Tuesday at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after giving up two runs on seven hits to go along with a walk and seven strikeouts in 6.0 IP. The southpaw has fanned 40 batters over his 40.2 IP this year.

With a three-hit game on Saturday, Pigs OF Nick Williams extended his hitting streak to seven games. In that time, Williams is hitting .414-1-3 (12-29, 3 2B, 6 R, 2 SB).

The first 3,000 fans 18 and older will receive an IronPigs Camo Cap giveaway presented by Nacci Printing. Sunday is also Military Appreciation Day presented by Nacci Printing. Following the game, kids 12 and under can participate in Kids Run the Bases courtesy of Children's Hospital at Lehigh Valley Health Network.
