Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release


After a postponement last night, the IronPigs (7-7) continue their homestand with a doubleheader to start a three-game series against the West Division leading Toledo Mud Hens (8-5) at Coca-Cola Park... With a 4-2 victory on Thursday, the Pigs won the final two games of a three-game set against Columbus to take their second straight series. As a result, Lehigh Valley has started 2-1 on this six-game homestand... The Mud Hens -- Detroit's top affiliate -- lost Game 1 of a doubleheader in Syracuse in Thursday, 1-0, before Game 2 was rained out. The Hens were swept in the rain-shortened series, 2-0, at NBT Bank Stadium after winning three in a row and eight of their last nine affairs -- including a season-high, five-game winning streak from April 8-12.
