GAME NOTES:

-THE LEAD: The Wings offense erased three separate deficits and the bullpen allowed just one run over 4.2 innings as Rochester won Tuesday's suspended game on Wednesday evening, 8-7, over the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. Ray Olmedo delivered the key hit with a 2-run single in the sixth inning that put the Wings in front for good.

-Brian Dinkelman's second inning triple was his 7th hit of the homestand after going just 7-for-48 in his first 17 games at Frontier Field this season. The triple was Dinkelman's first of the season and first since July 19, 2012... The triple also moved Dinkelman to third on the Wings all time hits list during the Twins ERA (343). He trails only Dustin Martin (361) and Garrett Jones (503).

-Jeff Clement hit leadoff home runs in the second and sixth innings as he recorded his second multi home run game of the season and the 8th of his career... In the month of May, Clement is now hitting .267 (24-for-90) with 6 HR and 14 RBI after hitting just .127 (9-for-71) with no homers and one RBI.

-Doug Bernier recorded his team-leading 17th hit with runners in scoring position when he beat out a safety squeeze attempt in the second inning. He's now hitting .333 (17-for-51) with RISP on the year... Bernier also laid down his league-leading 9th sacrifice bunt in the 6th inning setting the table for Olmedo who delivered the game-winning two-run single.

-The back-to-back wins were the first for the Wings since May 15-16 and just the third time they have won consecutive games since a season-high 4 game win streak April 24-27.
