The IronPigs had a rough night on the diamond, falling to Buffalo 11-1 at CocaCola Park. The Bisons hopped on the Pigs early, going up 3-0 after just three innings. They scored in six of the nine innings.
Paul Clemens had a forgettable start for Lehigh Valley. He went 5.2 innings, giving up eight hits and five earned runs. He did strike out six, but also walked three. Tyler Knigge did not have any more success, coming in for 1.
