Kyle Hudson began the 6th with a strike-out followed by a Kevin Frandsen ground out. With 2 outs Domonic Brown walked then Tuffy Gosewisch walked. Up next, Speedy Petey Orr singled to center scoring Brown and brought Cody Overbeck to the plate who also singled to center scoring Gosewisch. Michael Spidale finished the 6th with a fly out to center.
Syracuse would score 1 in the 3rd another in the 6th and would win in walk-off fashion when with 2 outs, 2 on and an 0-2 count – James Skelton would hit a screamer just past Cody Overbeck to score former IronPig Carlos Rivero for the winning, walk-off run. “Oy vey” Rivero was claimed off waivers by the Nationals during the off-season.
New LHV starting pitcher 30 year old Matt Wright threw a decent 6 innings and gave up 2 runs on 3 hits with 6 K, 1 BB and a solo homer to Corey Brown his 16th of the year. Not too bad after most recently pitching for the Sugar Land Skeeters and not having pitched in an MLB affiliated game since 2010.
The IronPigs reportedly tried to re-sign Ryan Feierabend but just missed out and instead got Wright. Thankfully, I don’t have to keep typing Feierabend. On Friday, Feierabend (Oy Vey), who was signed by Cincinnati and assigned to the Louisville Bats pitched 4 1/3 giving up 7 runs on 9 hits with 5K, 3BB and 3 HR (including a grand salami) for a whopping ERA of 14.54. Wright’s ERA is currently 3.00. You make the call.
J.C. Ramirez and David Purcey each threw a scoreless inning until the unfortunate bounce past Overbeck for losing pitcher Jeremy Horst ended the game.
Domonic Brown had a “star-worthy” play in center field but the Syracuse camera faded out just at that time. We’ll have to take Matt Provence’s word that it was one heck of a catch.
I’ve said it for a few weeks… DB 2012 is an updated version of DB 2011 – however, the naysayers still abound. During a recent game when Domonic was the DH I heard someone utter “At least he’s not playing in the outfield so he won’t drop anything”. All I can say is folks like this are either not paying attention or just don’t want to root for a good guy working hard to make his way to the show (and getting closer).
Domonic Brown makes a “star-worthy play” to rob SWB’s Francisco Cervelli back in April at Coca-Cola Park.

Hey, hats off to Matt “Skeeter” Wright. That’s pretty good for the first game in affiliated ball in two years or so. Shout out to JC Ramirez still 0.00 ERA in AAA.
Dom seems to be improving in the field. Oh, he’s not the finished product yet–some of these diving catches would be possible without the dives if he’d only get the right jump on the ball. I still say, with two outs and a runner only on third, he should have dived on Friday night on that bloop single early in the game. Hindsight, and all that.
But, this play above in the credit column. And, there were two nice catches in the corner in Left the other night (Thursday, I think) that impressed me: right route, everything.
