Thoughts on the game: Great comeback by the IronPigs. They were down 4-0 and they could have called it a bad game but they didn't and came back to win. They had a great seventh and eighth inning to get the win. Adams had a great game on the mound for the Railriders. He struck out 6 and only one walk.
