The IronPigs came out tonight with a mountain to climb.. .well maybe a small hill, but they took on the challenge and held up their part of the bargain by defeating the Buffalo Bison by a final score of 3-0.
Brian Bass pitched brilliantly. He went 8 innings allowing only 2 hits, striking out 10. Phear de Phratus, Justing DeFratus took over in the 9th and earned his 7th save.
Tonight also welcomed back Posednik and tomorrow Erik Kratz’s suspension will be over. The Pigs move on to Syracuse for 2 games.
While we saw Gwinnett lost their first game tonight the second game is only in the 3rd inning at this point with no score. (7 inning game)
The Pigs win tonight officially eliminated Indianapolis and put the Pigs up 1.5 games in the Wild card. If Gwinnett wins tonight the lead is 1 game, if Gwinnett loses it will guarantee the Pigs at least a tie in the wild card spot. (A one game playoff at Coca Cola Park on Tuesday if a tie results)
Anyone else going to make the trip to Syracuse on Monday?
OinK!

Going up to Syracuse for both final regular season games with hubby. Maybe we’ll see some other PIGS fans there cheering as well. Anyone planning on going up for the weekend be sure to check the weather and take appropriate rain gear.
This certainly has been an exciting season for the team and the fans. GO PIGS! OINK!
I think I just might! Hey Matt P. will have plenty of rides home just in case he misses the bus again…LOL!! Oink on everybody!! Don’t Stop Believin!!!
Not going to Syracuse, but will be with the Pigs in spirit! Those of you die hards making the trip, have a great time and Oink Responsibly!
We’ll be there
Just for bookkeeping purposes, the G-Braves split, 2-3 in the completed game, and 5-3 in the scheduled game. The lead over the Gwins is one.
Pawtucket clinches after a shocking 7-run comeback in the 8th vs the Scrantons, and would have a percentage lead even if they lost both remaining with the Pigs winning out, even with two fewer games played.
But now, we’re looking at rain in both SYR and GWI tonight (4) and tomorrow. As the outer parts of Tropical Event Lee skirt Georgia, the Braves have already pushed today’s game (bring-your-doggie-to-the-park) to 5.05.
Strap in, people.
I’m heading north today…but then turning east to MA. Wish I could be there.
With the ‘Pigs’ sweep of Buffalo and Gwinnett’s split in the “doubleheader” the ‘Pigs are now in great position to capture the wild card. Finally the bats are cracking again and they have some momentum! And the pitching is great too!
Wish I could travel to Syracuse, but I can’t. But you can be sure that’s where my heart will be this holiday weekend. Go’Pigs! Oink!

Nice to see that Orr was trying to personally whack the Buffalo coaching staff in the dugout with his Dave Winfield impression.
