Allentown, Pennsylvania (August 8, 2024) – In the resumption of Wednesday’s game one on Thursday, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs (54-52, 20-13) were downed by the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (61-48, 18-16) 8-1 before rain postponed the second game of the scheduled doubleheader.

The only run of the game for the ‘Pigs came on a Matt Kroon solo homer in the sixth, his seventh of the season, and fourth in his past three games.

Phil Bickford (3-4) earned the win in relief for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with 1.1 scoreless innings, allowing two hits and one walk, striking out two.
