LAST GAME

The Lehigh Valley IronPigs walked off 6-5 against the Toledo Mud Hens on Sunday to close out their six-game homestand. The Pigs rallied for two runs in the bottom of the ninth after surrendering an early three-run lead to avoid the sweep.
Adron Chambers was nearly perfect at the plate for the Pigs, going 3-for-4 and coming just a home run shy of the cycle. Dean Anna continued his streak of timely hitting for Lehigh Valley with a single and a run scored.
