The Pigs took the field in Moosic today with Roy Oswalt making another rehab start. Oswalt went 7 innings allowing 2 runs on 7 hits. He struck out 4 and walked two. Oswalt left the game with the score tied 2-2.
The Pigs scored two in the top of the 8th, an extra inning due to the 7 inning double header rules, with Brandon Moss Hogg’s 20th home run of the season. He is currently only 6 behind the season high mark set by Andy Tracy.
That’s all the Pigs needed in game one. Mike Zagurski pitched 1 inning and Michael “Phear the Phro” Schwimer took in his 9th save in the 8th.
Pigs win 4 to 2.
Game two.
Starting pitcher Ryan Edell tossed 4 innings allowing 8 hits and 4 runs. The Pigs took one back in the 5th on a Kevin Frandsen solo home run. That was all that SWB needed and the Pigs lost by a score of 1 to 4.
With a win and loss, SWB stayed at 5 games back and Pawtucket’s win pulled them within 1.5 games of the IronPigs.

I wonder how many in the paid attendance of 5,376 were Phillies and/or Ironpigs fans?
Correction: Oswalt went six innings. Good time in Moosic tonight.
The crowd was definitely lopsidedly loaded with Philles and ‘Pigs fans. It felt like a home game.
I’m not sure if anyone has heard, reported last night by the Hog Blog, and this morning by @BaconandBiscuit:
Bocock signed with the Pirates, and is with the AAA Indians.
Phillies promote SS Freddy Galvis and 3B Carlos Romero from Reading. Tagg Bozied placed on the DL.
I personally think we should’ve sent down Overbeck and had Tagg at 1B.
DAN—DID YOU EVER HAVE A DOUBLE DOUBLE?????
