IronPigs Win, 9-7, Versus Buffalo
Behind the hitting of Jaylen Craighead, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs stopped the Buffalo Bisons, 9-7. Craighead went 2-5 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the IronPigs. The winner in relief was Eric Patterson. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 1.2 innings. He now owns a record of 4-2. The loss makes Buffalo 44-41.

The game was all tied up in the top of the ninth, until Craighead delivered big-time for Lehigh Valley, stroking a dramatic 3-run home run off Mike Carey. The game-changing hit put the IronPigs on top, 9-6.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," Craighead told the Lehigh Valley Today.
