Gwinnett Stripers News Release


LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - The Gwinnett Stripers (10-10) were limited to one run on six hits in a series-ending 3-1 loss to the Lehigh Valley IronPigs (14-7) on Sunday afternoon at Coolray Field. The two teams split the series 3-3.

Decisive Plays: The Stripers took a 1-0 lead in the third inning on an RBI double from Carlos Rodriguez scoring Eddys Leonard. The IronPigs went ahead 2-1 in the fourth on a two-out, two-run double from Rodolfo Castro. That was all Lehigh Valley needed as the IronPigs plated an insurance run in the seventh on a run-scoring single from Weston Wilson.

Key Contributors: Rodriguez (1-for-4, double, RBI) drove in the lone Gwinnett run in the loss. Gwinnett starting pitcher Davis Daniel (L, 0-2) bounced back from his last start against the IronPigs on Tuesday (5.0 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 2 SO). Former Striper Alan Rangel (W, 2-0) went 5.0 innings (4 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 SO) for Lehigh Valley.

Noteworthy: Stripers' outfielder Bryan De La Cruz notched his first hit in a Gwinnett uniform with a fourth-inning double. Zach Thompson made his Stripers debut, allowing one earned run in 2.0 innings. Thompson became the final member of the Gwinnett Opening Day roster to appear in a game following two separate stints in Atlanta.
