Kieboom’s Two-Run Single Not Enough as ‘Pigs Fall to Omaha

‘Pigs look to avoid series sweep in finale on Sunday

July 19th, 2026

Papillion, Nebraska (July 18, 2026) – The Lehigh Valley IronPigs (10-10, 45-50) dropped a second straight game to the Omaha Storm Chasers (9-11, 41-52) falling 6-2 on Saturday night at Werner Park.

Omaha opened the scoring with a Kameron Misner RBI single in the first inning, but a two-run single from Carter Kieboom vaulted the ‘Pigs ahead in the third.

Omaha leap-frogged the ‘Pigs in the fifth on Matthew Lugo’s two-run double before adding single tallies in each of the final three frames as Drew Walters scored on a fielder’s choice in the sixth, Misner scampered home on a wild pitch in the seventh, and John Rave blasted a solo homer in the eighth.

Vince Velazquez (W, 2-1) got the win in relief for Omaha, working three scoreless innings while Chuck King (L, 6-4) suffered the loss for the ‘Pigs, allowing three runs over 4.1 frames.

The IronPigs and Storm Chasers conclude their series on Sunday, July 19th with first pitch slated for 6:05 EDT at Werner Park. Drake Fellows gets the ball for the ‘Pigs while Omaha turns to Mitch Spence.
