My New Favorite Moment at Coca Cola Park @ironpigs

I was amazed when TJ Bohn sprinted from right center field to catch a fly ball on the left field line behind a flailing Brandon Watson who lost the ball in the lights.

I was thrilled when Javon Moran swatted an inside the park home run on a sunny kids day game.

I was overjoyed when Michael Taylor hit a home run in the bottom of the 9th to tie the game and complete the first cycle in IronPig’s history.

I was forlorn that I missed the first and only (to date) triple play at Coca Cola Park.

But none of these can top what we saw tonight!

In the bottom of the 5th inning vs. Pawtucket in Game 1 tonight the Pigs loaded the bases.

Susdorf was on third, Lerud on second and Martinez on first. Leandro Castro hit a screaming double and the “ferrous” wheel started rolling. Susdorf scored easily and Martinez caught up to Lerud mid-way between 2nd and 3rd and neither stopped running. Thanks to our wonderful Noise Nation photographer (Cheryl Pursell) we have a photographic record of this event. Martinez pushing and hollering to Lerud and both scored within moments (ala Major League) on a reasonably close play at home plate.

Enjoy!

  1. Definitely a memorable moment! Then again, anytime the ‘Pigs sweep a doubleheader from the hated PawSox — rapidly replacing the SWB Trolley Frogs as our top rival — there is cause for celebration! Now can we sweep the series?

  2. Great set of photos … Will probably only get better with passage of time, too … Truly great stuff, this gallery.
