Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release
Moosic, Pennsylvania - Tyler Phillips struck out six over six innings while the 'Lehigh Valley IronPigs (8-8) offense banged out 10 hits en route to a 9-3 victory over the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (12-6) on Friday night at PNC Field.
Getting to work immediately the IronPigs loaded the bases in the first. With two outs, Esteban Quiroz worked a walk to force in a run and Aramis Garcia followed with a base-clearing double to make it 4-0.
In the last of the first, the RailRiders scratched out a run on a two-out T.J. Rumfield double, but Phillips held the line and limited the damage.
Cal Stevenson doubled to lead off the fourth and moved to third on a flyout and then scored on a Simon Muzziotti sacrifice fly.
In the fifth, Darick Hall started the inning with a single and moved around to third after another single and sacrifice bunt. Quiroz drove in Hall for his second RBI of the game with a sacrifice fly.
The RailRiders plated two in the last of the fifth. A walk and error put two runners on to begin the inning before a wild pitch moved the runners to second and third. A groundout scored Josh VanMeter and Luis Gonzalez then crossed the plate on a wild pitch to make it 6-3.
The 'Pigs answered back with two in the sixth. Stevenson walked and stole second to start the rally and then went to third on a flyout. Muzziotti drove him in with a single and then stole second and advanced to third on a wild pitch. Kody Clemens joined the fun with an RBI single, plating Muzziotti to make it 8-3.
David Dahl provided the cherry on top as he popped a solo homer to leftfield in the ninth, his third of the season, to bring the final score to 9-3.
Phillips (2-1) garnered his second straight win for the IronPigs by allowing just three runs (two earned) over six frames on four hits and three walks, striking out six.
