It was hot and humid today, no doubt.. but it didn’t phase the Ironpigs who took down the formidable Durham Bulls this evening at The Coke.
Moss, Young, Bocock and Orr had multi-hit games for the Pigs and the offense came alive for 2 runs and 12 hits!
Yes! 12 hits! The final achievement of the Philly Pretzel Dozen Challenge! With these 12 hits the Philly Pretzel Factory will donate $60 to the National Brain Tumor Society (Our chosen charity for 2011) and $60 to the Lehigh Valley Rollergirls! Though this was the final instance of this contest, we were promised something new and exciting from our friends at Philly Pretzels and we are looking forward to it! A great group of folks and awesome pretzels!
Vance Worley came out tonight with a mission. The Worley Bird went 7 innings allowing only 3 hits and no runs with 6 strikeouts. He increased his record to 4 wins and 2 losses and now boasts a 2.33 ERA.
We had a great time tonight catching up with Noise Nation member Tim Keeler who is home on leave from the Army! Tim, it’s nice to have you home and many thanks for making sacrifices to ensure our safety and freedom!
See you at the game tomorrow!
OinK!
