The IronPigs (67-46) fell 1-0 in 10 innings to the Buffalo Bisons (50-64) Sunday afternoon at Coca-Cola Field.

The IronPigs (67-46) fell 1-0 in 10 innings to the Buffalo Bisons (50-64) Sunday afternoon at Coca-Cola Field.

Mike Ohlman hit a walk-off single with one out in the 10th inning, giving the Bisons a series sweep over the Pigs.
Pigs reliever Colton Murray (2-2) walked Teoscar Hernández and gave up a base hit to Jake Elmore before Ohlman hit the walk-off single.
The Pigs had their chances, but failed to capitalize with runners in scoring position. Pigs bats went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position and stranded 11 men on base, including the bases loaded on two occasions.
Buffalo faired about the same until the bottom of the 10th inning, as the Bisons went 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position with the lone hit coming on the Ohlman game-winning hit. Buffalo stranded 13 men on base.
Despite the loss, the Pigs received great pitching performances from starter José Taveras (1-0, 0.00) and César Ramos and Yacksel Ríos also joined in with scoreless outings.
Taveras, fresh off his impressive debut with the Pigs, tossed five scoreless innings surrendering just three hits while striking out three but surrendered six walks.
Ramos did the bulk of the relief work, tossing two 1/3 scoreless innings yielding just two hits while striking out a batter.
Rios followed Ramos, tossing one 2/3 scoreless innings surrendering just a hit while striking out a pair.
With a base hit in the top of the fifth inning, Scott Kingery extended his hitting streak to five games and has also hit safely in 21 of his last 22 games.
The loss for the Pigs is their fourth in a row, and the ninth time they have been shutout this season.
The Pigs now return home for a seven-game homestand, beginning with a three-game series against the Norfolk Tides Monday night at Coca-Cola Park. The Pigs will send right-hander Jake Thompson (4-11, 5.36) and the Tides will send right-hander Gabriel Ynoa(4-8, 6.16). First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.
