The Pigs took the opening game of the 4 game series against the SWB Yankees tonight behind Andy Tracy’s 2 run home run deep into the Bud Light Trough at Coca Cola Park!
John Mayberry went 3 for 4 with a run scored.
The story tonight is Brian Mazone! Mazone went 6 innings allowing 2 hits, no runs striking out 6. He had a perfect game going until a fly ball dropped between Mayberry and Tavares in right field. Honestly, it was right in front of me and it seemed (by my point of view) that Mayberry saw that ball leaving the park. Sore knee and all, he didn’t seem to be making much of an effort to get there. Maybe a “we’re down by 6 runs in the 9th inning hustle” but not during a potential no-hitter/perfect game scenario. Where is DeWayne Wise when you need him? Oh yeah, he is on Toronto’s roster. Wise was initially called up for an injury replacement but stayed around after the player returned. Looks like his gamble payed off.
Also looks like Zagurski will be the Pig’s new closer. He came in for the 9th earning his 1st save of 2010 striking out 2 of the 3 batters he faced.
Scott Mathieson was called up today but didn’t get in to the game yet. Phillies looked good the past two days and hearing a lot of buzz from sportswriters about the “Mathieson effect” of him turning the Phillies play around.. we’ll see.
It was nice to run into my 6th grade math teacher tonight. No idea how I recognized him after all these years but still great to see him at the game.
Another Friday night fireworks game tomorrow. Hopefully the Pigs can continue to play well through the weekend.
OINK!

What a game!! I can’t wait to hear the comments on the Pretzel Burger…lmao!!!
Right! RIGHT! The Pretzel burger with all 4 cheeses! LOL
I can’t believe you had all 4 cheeses on it!! I would have maybe done 2. It was so funny to see him run and hide it…..
Tip of the cap to Brian Bocock who made some outstanding plays at shortstop tonight. And yes, Cody Ransom also made some nice plays at third base.
I had the pig roast platter tonight. Very good. My only criticism is that the bun appeared to be nothing more than a Sunbeam hamburger roll. The pork was so tender and moist that the juice soaked right through the roll. A kaiser roll would have been better.
Last night was the first time there were on the soft rolls. Previous times they were on harder rolls similiar to the All Star sandwich roll. I did have two plates of it last night đ
When I saw the ‘regular’ buns, I was turned right off… doesn’t the Big Porker use a kaiser?
Shame…sure looked great. I ended up with a Walking Taco…my brother used a pocket multi-tool he takes to work to cut open the bag.
Definitely will have the Pretzel Burger July 1st v the P-Sawx…
Ya missed me, Heather! I was just a little off to your right… đ
I tried the walking taco once but it quickly turned into a running taco for me..
I had the big teams’ game on the radio all night, and they could have gone with Scott in the 9th had the Yanks’ pen done their job(a).
Brother and I ran into a guy we knew from school… like me, he still has hair…
