minor matters

The IronPigs last night finally beat the Louisville Bats down in Louisville. The 5-1 victory came on the unlikely strength of two home runs by very light-hitting shortstop Brian Bocock and a pinch-hit homer by pitcher Joe Savery. Surprise, surprise.

Vance Worley of the Reading Phillies today pitched eight scoreless innings in a 4-0 shutout in Trenton of the Thunder. It is good to see Worley, now 9-4 on the season, again in a groove. His previous game was a complete game shutout against the Harrisburg Senators. Last year Worley looked good early in his double-A career, then hit a wall. One of his draft mates, Michael Stutes, has already been converted to reliever and is now with the 'Pigs.
