(Papillion, Neb) - Dustin Peterson hit a go-ahead three-run home run against Drew Parrish (0-1) in his AAA debut on Wednesday evening as the Lehigh Valley IronPigs (32-24) won 4-2 over the Omaha Storm Chasers.

The 'Pigs trailed early as Ivan Castillo hit a home run against Michael Mariot in the bottom of the first inning to give Omaha a 1-0 lead. The home run for Castillo was his second home run of the season. Mariot gave up another home run in the bottom of the third inning - a solo home run by Vinnie Pasquantino that gave the Storm Chasers a 2-0 lead.
