Follow @IronPigsThe Lehigh Valley IronPigs were unable to complete their sweep of the Columbus Clippers, falling 14-8 on Sunday afternoon. Even with the loss, the Pigs took the season series from Columbus four games to two, and Lehigh Valley maintains their eight game lead in the IL North Divison.


The Lehigh Valley IronPigs were unable to complete their sweep of the Columbus Clippers, falling 14-8 on Sunday afternoon. Even with the loss, the Pigs took the season series from Columbus four games to two, and Lehigh Valley maintains their eight game lead in the IL North Divison.

The Clippers never let off of the pedal, as they plated five runs in the second inning against Enyel De Los Santos (9-4). As the Pigs had dreams of another come-from-behind win, Adam Rosales dashed those hopes with a three-run home run in the fifth to push the game out of reach. Rosales finished 4-for-4 with two doubles and two home runs.
The Pigs collected a pair of two-run innings against reliever Stephen Fife, thanks to RBIs from Dylan Cozens and Colin Cowgill, while Dean Anna went 1-for-4 to extend his season-best hitting streak to 17 games. Lehigh Valley rattled off a few more runs in the eighth inning against Fife, and a run in the ninth against Jon Edwards, but they were unable to complete the improbable comeback.
The IronPigs will hit the road four a five-game series against the Buffalo Bisons starting Monday. It will be the last time the Pigs see the Toronto affiliate this season, with first pitch coming at 7:05 p.m. as Tom Eshelman takes the mound for Lehigh Valley.
The Pigs return to Coca-Cola Park this Friday to open a three-game series against the Syracuse Chiefs. Friday's 7:05 p.m. contest will be followed by Aerosmith-themed Friday Night Fireworks presented by Coors Light.
The 2018 Season is the IronPigs' 11th season at Coca-Cola Park and 11th as the top affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies.
