Bulls take series in Lehigh Valley

The Lehigh Valley IronPigs were shut out Wednesday in their rubber match against the Durham Bulls. The home team fell 2-0 to drop their fourth game in six tries vs. the Bulls this season.

Both Drew Anderson (8-4) and Chih-Wei Hu (4-7) danced around trouble, but Anderson gave up the first run, a solo home run by Austin Meadows in the third inning. Anderson left with that deficit, as the Pigs offense could not strike Hu or the Durham bullpen throughout the night.
The Bulls pushed another run across in the eighth inning against Edubray Ramos with a double from Meadows and a single from Brandon Snyder.
The Pigs' best opportunity of the night came in the first inning when Dean Anna led off with a single followed by a double by Jesmuel Valentín. Hu then struck out the next three batters to strand the pair in scoring position. Valentin logged a 3-for-4 day at the plate to lead the way for Lehigh Valley.
