Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release

Allentown, Pennsylvania - Steward Berroa reached base five times to lead a 12-hit offensive barrage as the Lehigh Valley IronPigs (10-8, 45-48) downed the Columbus Clipper (9-9, 50-42) by a final of 13-5 for a series win on Sunday afternoon at Coca-Cola Park.

The squads exchanged runs in the last of the second and top of the third as the 'Pigs opened the scoring with Paul McIntosh scoring on a wild pitch while Columbus answered with a Juan Brito sacrifice fly.

A pair of homers in the last of the third, a solo shot from Otto Kemp and a three-run bomb from Berroa, staked the 'Pigs to a 5-1 cushion.

Columbus made things interesting plating a pair in the sixth, but the 'Pigs responded with excessive force as Carter Kieboom clubbed another three-run homer, Tommy Pham scored on a throwing error, and Paul McIntosh singled home another for a five-run frame.

Pham added an RBI single in the seventh to make it 11-3 before Bryan De La Cruz singled home two more with another base hit.

Brito belted a two-run homer in the ninth as consolation for Columbus.

Trenton Denholm (L, 8-3) took the loss for Columbus, allowing five runs in 3.2 innings of work.
