While the team is still playing in an unusual minor-league campaign, the 2022 season should look a bit more familiar for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, who announced their schedule for next year on Wednesday afternoon.
Gone are the days of the early-season alternate training site at Coca-Cola Park, as the Philadelphia Phillies’ Class AAA affiliate will kick off its 144-game season at the stadium on Tuesday, April 5.
The IronPigs will face the Columbus Clippers in the six-game series as they begin to play Triple-A East opponents outside of the Northeast Division and see a number of teams for the first time since the International League was disbanded by Major League Baseball in favor of the new league.
