Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release


Allentown, Pennsylvania - It was Keaton Anthony's turn to play hero as he came thru in the clutch with a two-run single in the eighth inning to guide the Lehigh Valley IronPigs (59-39, 12-11) to a 7-6 win over the Norfolk Tides (38-58, 8-15) on Friday night at Coca-Cola Park.

Vimael Machin started the scoring with a three-run homer in the first inning for the Tides while the 'Pigs got on the board on a Donovan Walton RBI fielder's choice in the second that saw Garrett Stubbs score from second.

The Tides extended their lead to 5-1 with tallies in the third and fourth. Samuel Basallo doubled home a run in the third while Jordyn Adams singled home the other in the fourth.

The 'Pigs hit the comeback trail in the fifth. Cal Stevenson singled home a run, then stole second and scored on a Stubbs RBI double.

Rafael Lantigua tied the game with a two-run double in the sixth, but Basallo immediately untied it with a solo homer to begin the seventh.

Three straight two-out walks in the eighth put Anthony in the spotlight for his moment for the 'Pigs. Anthony came thru with a two-run single, vaulting the 'Pigs in front for the first time all night, 7-6.

Guillo Zuñiga (S, 3) allowed a leadoff single in the ninth, but sat down the next three, including two strikeouts, to seal the win for the 'Pigs.

Nolan Hoffman (2-0) got his second win of the week for the 'Pigs, pitching a scoreless eighth, working around a triple.

Levi Stoudt (1-4) took the loss for the Tides, allowing two runs on one hit and three walks.

The 'Pigs and Tides continue their series on Saturday, July 26th with first pitch at 6:35 p.m. and Adonis Medina (0-1, 4.50) on the mound for the 'Pigs against Roansy Contreras (6-2, 4.19) for the Tides.
