Rochester Red Wings News Release
The Red Wings slugged their way to a third straight win Wednesday with 19-6 victory over the Lehigh Valley IronPigs in Allentown, PA.
Zander Wiel, Jaylin Davis and Jordany Valdepspin led the offensive attack. The 6-8 hitters in the Wings lineup went a combined 10-for-16 with two homers, four doubles, 11 RBI and seven runs.
The Wings (37-39) have averaged 12.3 runs/game over their current three-game winning streak.
Davis got the scoring started with a two-out, two-run double in the first inning. Valdespin followed with a grounder to second that scooted under the mitt of the second baseman allowing two more runs to cross in the first.
Davis and Valdespin then hit a triple and double back-to-back in the third to plate two more runs and stake the Wings to a 6-0 lead.
After the 'Pigs plated three runs in the sixth to trim the lead to 9-5, Rochester responded with a six-run seventh inning highlighted by a three-run homer from Wiel off former Red Wing John Curtiss. Drew Maggi would touch up Curtiss an inning later for a solo homer.
