The Pawtucket Red Sox scored all their runs over the last three innings, overcoming an early deficit to beat the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs, 8-5 yesterday in Allentown, PA.

The PawSox were held in check over the first six innings of the game by the masterful pitching of LHV starter Carlos Carrasco. Pawtucket finally broke the string by scoring two unearned runs off Carrasco in the seventh on a ground out by Joe Thurston and a single by Jason Lane.

The PawSox took the lead with four runs in the eighth, all against Iron Pigs reliever Travis Blackley (5-10). The big hit in the inning was Jonathan Van Every’s three-run double to center. Van Every would score two batters later on Thurston’s RBI single up the middle.

Pawtucket added two runs in the ninth on a Keith Ginter sacrifice fly and a Gil Velazquez RBI triple.

The PawSox banged out 11 hits in the game, with Lane, George Kottaras, and Velazquez collecting two each.

Charlie Zink (14-5) started the game for the PawSox, and despite giving up all five Lehigh Valley runs (four were earned), he pitched long enough to earn the win. Zink threw seven innings, scattering five hits while walking three and striking out two. He did surrender a solo home run to 3B Mike Cervenak in the third inning.

Lincoln Holdzkom and Hunter Jones pitched the final two inning without giving up a run. Jones earned his eighth save of the season.

With the win the PawSox snapped a two game losing streak. They are currently 1-2 on this six game road trip with game two with the Iron Pigs set for tonight (7:05 pm). Davern Hansack (6-10) returns to action to pitch for the PawSox. He’ll be opposed by lefty Brian Mazzone for the Iron Pigs.

Brad Eldred blasted his 35th home run on the season, and he also drove in four runs, in the Charlotte Knights’ 9-5 win over the Norfolk Tides. BOX

For the first time since 2003 the Pawtucket Red Sox will be playing in the Governor’s Cup Playoffs.

The PawSox lost last night’s game to the Rochester Red Wings, 4-3, but secured the playoff spot as a result of Toledo’s 6-1 loss to Richmond.

Last night’s game was a tough one for Pawtucket to lose, as they saw an early 3-0 lead evaporate when Rochester scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh. PawSox starter Michael Bowden began the frame by allowing a double to left by LF Bobby Kielty. Two batters later SS Trevor Plouffe knocked in Kielty with a single to center. Kyle Snyder replaced Bowden and served up a two run homer to 2B Matt Macri, costing Bowden a chance for his first Triple A win.

The PawSox broke out of the gate fast in this game, scoring a pair of runs in the first on a Jason Lane two-run homer and another in the second on an RBI single by Josh Wilson.

For the game the PawSox collected 7 hits. Jeff Corsaletti had three of them, including a triple. Wilson added two. Plouffe and Macri added two hits each for the Wings.

Bowden again pitched well but did not figure in the decision. He gave up three runs on six hits in his 6 1/3 innings of work. He struck out six and did not walk a batter. Snyder (1-4) was saddled with the loss.

Rochester starter Brian Bass made his Red Wings debut, going four innings, giving up three runs on four hits. He walked two and struck out three. Mariano Gomez (5-2) picked-up the win in relief.

The PawSox now head to Allentown, PA to begin a four game series this evening (5:35 pm) with the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs. Charlie Zink (13-5) will pitch for Pawtucket. He’ll be opposed by Carlos Carrasco (1-2) for the Iron Pigs.

NOTES- Scranton/Wilkes Barre defeated Lehigh Valley 4-0 last night and have extended its lead in the IL North Division over the PawSox to 3 1/2 games. The chances of the PawSox taking the division crown are slipping away as the Pawtucket has only 8 games remaining to play.

David Pauley has been promoted to Boston following the placement of reliever David Aardsma on the 15-day disabled list. No word on who in the PawSox staff will assume Pauley’s next start in the rotation.

PawSox outfielder Jonathan Van Every returned to the line-up yesterday after missing the last three games with a stiff neck. In his first game back Van Every went 0 for 2 with a walk.
