The Pigs won a team record 8th game in a row tonight by defeating the Columbus Clippers by a score of 5-2.
The Pigs got on the board early on base hits by Podsednik and Frandsen topped off with red hot Brandon Moss Hogg’s 3 run HR in the first inning!
Our beloved swine added another run in the 2nd and the final score on Overbeck’s solo HR in the 9th.
Scott Mathieson pitched well for 6 innings, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits and 2 walks. He struck out 2.
Savery (2 innings), Aumont (1) and DeFratus closed out the game. DeFratus helped make it exciting allowing the bases to load before striking out the last batter of the game.
Columbus’ starter McAllister nearly pitched a complete game loss, but was pulled in the 9th before recording an out.
The Pigs now lead the best of 5 series 1-0 and look to take game 2 tomorrow in Columbus before returning to the Lehigh Valley on Thursday for Game 3 and potential Games 4 & 5.
GO PIGS!!!!!

If I am not mistaken, they have not lost since they won the pig mascot at the Allentown Fair
How do you like that Moss Hogg?
DEEEEE-licious!
(that’s the name, I’m told.)
And to think, back in April all I was hoping for was a record above .500!
