INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE (AAA)
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre 5, Lehigh Valley 3: A ninth-inning comeback for the IronPigs (41-30) was erased by a walk-off homer in the middle game of the series.
Trailing 3-2 with two outs, Lehigh Valley rallied to tie the game on a single then an RBI double from RF Danny Ortiz (1-for-4). But the RailRiders (34-36) had two-out magic of their own in the home half, as Zack Zehner hit a two-run shot to end the game.
