The so-called “Final Stretch” is finally over for Lehigh Valley as it stumbled its whole way to the finish line.
The IronPigs dropped a lopsided 10-1 affair in Sunday’s season finale against the Worcester Red Sox at Coca-Cola Park, closing the 2021 campaign with nine consecutive losses to go 53-75. With the Triple-A season originally slated to conclude on Sept. 19, they went 9-1 in the 10 games added to the end of the schedule by Major League Baseball in July.
Former Phillies prospect Connor Seabold tossed five innings of one-run ball against Lehigh Valley as he battled IronPigs starter David Paulino, who allowed three runs in six innings.
