IronPig Game Results 6/12/11 – Great Day for a Ballgame!

Who said Ryan Feierabend can’t pitch at home? Feierabend went 7 innings, allowed 1 run on 3 hits and took the win in a 6 to 1 victory over the Louisville Bats. (Thanks Dean)

John Mayberry was the star hitter of the game going 3 for 4 with 2 doubles and 2 RBI. He also scored 2 of the Ironpig’s runs.

Dontrelle Willis looked confident when he was warming up in the bullpen today. Nods to his catcher and big smiles until he took the mound against Ironpig hitters. He went 6.1 innings allowing 4 runs on 5 hits, (1 run was unearned) striking out 3.

The play of the day goes to Rich Thompson, who started in left field. In the 4th inning with the score 1-0 Ironpigs, Devin Mesoraco hit a long fly ball that appeared to be clearing the wall but up went Thompson and pulled the ball from above the yellow line. Don’t think it was headed out? I had the best view in the park standing behind the bullpens only feet from the catch. It might have hit the top of the yellow wall but it was going for a HR for sure.

By winning the first two of this only home series vs. Louisville, the Pigs secure at least a series split and look to go for the win as they face them on one of my favorite days at the park… Dog Day!

Yes, my best pal Wally will be in attendance is looking forward to seeing all his fuzzy friends!

Speaking of fuzzy friends I want to send a shout out to someone else who has “fuzzy” friends… Today I met Kelly, the best friend of the mascots and works in the promotions department at the Ironpigs. I observed her doing her job and helping kids enjoy the mascot autographs and she was so kind and caring with the kids. Want to say thank you to Kelly and appreciate your hard work!

See you tomorrow!

Woof!
