Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release
In a battle of the top two teams in the IL since June 14, the IronPigs (48-60) play the "rubber match" of a three-game series at Coca-Cola Park against the South's first-place Norfok Tides (62-44) -- owners of the best record in the league... With an 8-4 win last night, the Pigs snapped a four-game losing streak and improved to 1-3 on this five-game homestand. The Pigs have won 19 of their last 31 affairs and sport the IL's second-best record (26-18) since June 14 after falling to their low-water mark (22-42) of the season...

Still, the Tides are 12-5 since the All-Star Break and have won 25 of their last 37 contests since June 21 to seize control of the South Division.
