FEEL NO WAYS: The Red Wings dropped Friday night's matchup against Lehigh Valley, 10-2, the club's third loss in the last four games...second basemen Lucius Fox picked up the lone multi-hit performance of the night for the Wings' offense, going 3-for-4 with a homer, double, and two RBI...Wings pitchers struggled against Lehigh hitters, allowing nine earned runs on 14 hits (29 in last two contests)...while surrendering 33 runs over the past four games, the Wings have gotten back to their former punch out ways, collecting 13 strikeouts last night against the Pigs while walking just two batters...five different Wings picked up a knock in yesterday's contest including catcher Tres Barrera who picked up the other extra-base hit last night, doubling in the bottom of the second...RHP Jackson Tetreault will get the nod for the Red Wings tonight who look to stay alive in the series contest.

WINGS WRAPPED IN BACON: The Wings have struggled to find success against the IronPigs this season, compiling a 3-7 record against the Bacon Men this year, yet remain in first place in the IL East (25-15) thanks to their 22-8 record against all other opponents...the Wings starting pitching staff has struggled versus Lehigh with a collective team ERA of 7.95 (76 runs, 86.0 innings), in comparison to a 3.94 team ERA against all other opponents (92 runs, 210.0 innings)...the team is averaging 8.4 Ks/9 in comparison to 9.2 Ks/9 versus all other opponents, giving up six walks per game against Lehigh in comparison to just three walks per game against all other teams...Red Wings pitchers have surrendered 11 of 31 homers allowed this season to the IronPigs, over half of the Bacon Men's bombs have come from Darick Hall who has six.

FANTASTIC MR.
