A tremendous thunderstorm delayed last night's first game for the IronPigs by about two hours, but gave way to this rainbow. You can't see it here but it was a double rainbow.Off of two impressive starts last week in Philadelphia, lefty J.A. Happ last night continued to make his push for a spot in the Phillies starting rotation. He pitched the final seven innings against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees in a game suspended earlier this season by rain. Happ retired all but one of the batters he faced, striking out 12 and walking just one. Of his 102 pitches, 71 were thrown for strikes. Yo, front office, what about it?
IronPigs relief pitchers R. J. Swindle and Steve Green have been named to the Canadian Olympic baseball team and will be heading soon for Beijing. Kudos to both!
