Ironpig Game Result 6/5/11 – Pigs Look for Series Win

The Ironpigs avenged last night’s loss with a 4 to 2 victory over the Charlotte Knights this afternoon in Ft. Mill, SC. (Yes, Charlotte plays in Ft. Mill)

For the Pigs, Posednik and Larish collected 2 hits apiece. Tagg Bozied hit a solo home run and John Suomi had his first triple of the season with 2 RBI.

The Pigs pitching came to play today with Bass going 6.1 innings allowing 2 runs on 6 hits. Perez and Mathieson came on to finish the game out and Mathieson picked up his 4th save of the season.

I missed the game broadcast today. Completely forgot it was an afternoon game and was out on the road selling cookbooks for our National Brain Tumor Society fundraiser. I am happy to let you know that we have already sold 30 books since yesterday and they are going fast! We printed 200 so get one while they are still available.

Hope to see you out at the Park this week when the Ironpigs come home on Tuesday.

  1. After the game on Sunday the Phillies optioned John Mayberry back to the Ironpigs. At least this time nobody will have to catch the flu.

    The cookbooks look great. Nice to see all those Pigs, or former Pigs contributing.

  3. After a nice crowd for Saturday night fireworks at the ballpark, the attendance at Charlotte on Sunday was just 1,992. I guess it’s tough to compete when there’s a NASCAR race on tv.

    I didn’t do a complete search but the lowest Coca-Cola Park attendance I was able to find in the history of the Ironpigs was 4,485 on April 14, 2008 vs. the Richmond Braves. Is it really possible the smallest attendance in Ironpigs history came on the day of the first win in Ironpigs history?
