The Lehigh Valley IronPigs matched a franchise record with eight doubles in a 7-1 win over the Toledo Mud Hens Saturday in Ohio. The win secures a successful road trip for the Pigs as they move back to a season-high 20 games above .500.

Lehigh Valley brought nine batters to the plate in the third inning against Kyle Funkhouser (0-2). Ryan Goins, Adron Chambers and Dylan Cozens all doubled in the four-run frame. The Pigs collected another pair of runs in the sixth with another pair of doubles from Goins and Chambers.
In the ninth , Chambers collected his third double to tie a franchise record and eventually score another run. Even through the flurry of extra-base-hits, the Pigs failed to hit a home run for the fourth straight game.
Cole Irvin (9-3) tossed five innings for the Pigs while allowing only one run and striking out eight to earn his first win since June 10.
Lehigh Valley will try to win the series tomorrow as they wrap up their seven-game road trip. Jacob Waguespack will climb the hill for the Pigs, as he looks for his second straight win. First pitch from Fifth Third Field will come at 6:05 p.m.
