Clippers Hammered by Simmons, Drop Game 4 to IronPigs
Lehigh Valley shortstop Andrelton Simmons was the difference-maker for the IronPigs in what turned into a shootout with the Columbus Clippers. Simmons earned accolades after going 2-for-2 in the 7-3 IronPigs win. With the victory, the IronPigs moved into a 2-2 tie in the best-of-7 series.

There was more than one reason the IronPigs beat the Clippers, but Simmons's big at-bat in the bottom of the second was an important factor. He staked his team to a 4-0 lead when he hit a grand slam home run.

"Postseason wins taste oh so sweet," said Simmons after the game.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Coca-Cola Park in Allentown.
