Like their parents Pirates, Indianapolis (31-21) banged out the hits but came up short in extra innings, dropping a 7-6 decision to visiting Gwinnett (32-23) in ten innings.
Left-hander Cam Vieaux (3-3, 3.43) got knocked around in his second start since being promoted from Altoona, giving up five runs on seven hits, including a pair of homer, in five innings.
Down 5-3, the Indians rallied for single runs in the eighth and ninth to send the game into extra innings, as Jake Elmore hit his third homer with two outs in the eighth and in the ninth, with one out, Corey Dickerson singled, Jung-ho Kang walked and then Will Craig (280/364/566) singled up the middle to drive home Dickerson.
