TG First Round Update

Lehigh Valley and Springfield played the first two games of the series today.  I included the PAC for the game two 9th inning.  It was a wild comeback followed by a miserable loss in the 10th.  Editor's note: Game two was the most entertaining loss I have played. 



Game 1 Summary:
Tony Watson quieted any hopes that Springfield may have had of a comeback as the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs defeated the Springfield Isotopes by the score of 7 to 5 at The Pig Pen.  Lehigh Valley jumped on top of Springfield in the bottom of the 3rd inning when they tallied 2 runs on 4 hits.  Lehigh Valley finished with 9 hits in the victory.  Stephen Strasburg(1-0) allowed 5 runs in 5 innings, and picked up the victory. Watson was credited with his 1st save.  Masahiro Tanaka(0-1) was hit with the loss.  He was knocked around pretty good, giving up 6 runs in 4 innings.  

Game 2 Summary:
The Springfield Isotopes edged the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs in 10 innings at The Pig Pen by the score of 5 to 4.  Both teams were tied at 4 runs apiece after nine innings.  Springfield came out the victor in the 10th inning.  After an out was recorded, Shin-Soo Choo clubbed a solo home run.  Springfield managed 9 hits in their victory.  George Kontos(1-0) picked up the victory, allowing no runs in 1/3 of an inning. Edwin Jackson gained credit for his 1st save.  Yimi Garcia(0-1) was charged with the loss in relief.

Game 2 PAC  9th & 10th Innings:  (Keep in mind that Aroldis Chapman started the 9th inning for Springfield)
