IronPigs even heading home

The Lehigh Valley IronPigs won the opener of the Governor's Cup final Tuesday night night, behind fine pitching by Scott Mathieson. In fact, after Mathieson (5 IP, 2 runs, 5 hits, 2 walks, 2 Ks), Joe Savery, Philippe Aumont and Justin DeFratus all threw scoreless relief, and rode Brandon Moss' 3-run first inning homer to a 5-2 win. Freddy Galvis added 2 hits and stole a base for Lehigh Valley.

Then, last night, the Clippers got even, scoring 4 in the 8th for a 4-1 series leveling win. The teams will move top Allentown this weekend to continue the best-of-5.

In the PCL series, Sacramento went to Omaha and lost both games, duplicating what they did in the opening round when they dropped both games in Reno. Tuesday, the Storm Chasers took a tense, 3-2 win, following it that up with a 15-4 win yesterday. Adrian Cardenas had 3 hits in the second game, including a 2-run home run in the first inning to give the River Cats a short lived lead. The Cats are coming home where they overcame to 0-2 deficit in the prior series.
