Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release
After rain forced a suspension* of last night's game, the first-place IronPigs (74-49) will now complete Game 2 (nine-inning game) today before playing Game 3 (seven-inning game) of this four-game, home series against the Indianapolis Indians (66-57) at Coca-Cola Park... With a 6-5 walk-off victory on Thursday, the Pigs snapped a two-game skid overall and a four-game losing streak to the Indians. With Scranton/WB also rained out last night, the Pigs' Magic Number to clinch their first-ever North Division title remains 8... Lehigh Valley has won 26 of its last 39 contests and owns a 45-24 record since June 3 -- going from 0.5 games back to 10.0 games ahead... The Indians -- Pittsburgh's top affiliate -- have dumped six of their last seven games after sweeping the Pigs at Victory Field from Aug. 7-9 -- during which time they went from 4.0-games up on Columbus to 0.5-game back of the Clippers. Still, Indianapolis own a 41-30 record after falling to a season-low water mark at 25-27 on June 1.
