Back this weekend.  Thanks for stopping by!

1B Mike Cervenak broke-up a scoreless tie with an RBI double in the top of the 11th inning to set-up the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs to a 3-0 win over the PawSox last night at McCoy.

The Iron Pigs added two more runs in the frame on a two-run double by 3B Terry Tiffie.

The story of the game before the 11th was the strong pitching performance by both clubs.  Adam Mills was outstanding for the PawSox, giving up only three hits over seven innings.  He walked one and struck out four.

Iron Pigs starter Gustavo Chacin was equal to the task, pithcing eight scorelss on two hits while walking two and striking out two.

PawSox reliever T.J. Large (3-2) gave up all three runs in the 11th and took the loss. Jason Anderson (1-1) pitched an 1 1/3 to get the win for Lehigh Valley.

One again the PawSox offense could muster only three hits.  Cervenak had three of the Iron Pigs seven hits on the night.

The two teams will play again theis afternoon (1:05pm).   Joe Savery (2-1, 5.16 ERA) will pitch for the Iron Pigs while Billy Traber (7-5, 2.88 ERA) throws for the PawSox

Here is Tim Wakefield following tonight’s rehab performance at McCoy…

Tim Wakefield’s second rehab start is over, and he pitched very well.

Wakefield pitched 5 2/3 innings, giving up one run on two hits, one of which was a home run to DH Justin Huber.  He walked one and struck out four.  He hit the final batter he faced, who incidentally was Huber.  He threw 81 pitches, 56 for strikes.

Wakefield may earn the win as Pawtucket scored two runs in the bottom of the fifth and lead 2-1.

The PawSox still trail the Rochester Red Wings, 1-0 tonight through four innings at McCoy.

Tim Wakefield has only made one mistake through four innings, giving up a solo home run to DH Justin Huber in the second.  Wake has given up two hits, while striking out three and walking one.  He has been extremely efficient, throwing 51 pitches, 38 for strikes.

Pawtucket had a great chance to get on the board in the bottom of the fourth after loading the bases with two out.  But Travis Denker struck out to end the inning.
