Phillies minor league report: Poor ninth innings doom Lehigh Valley, Clearwater

Charlotte 8, Lehigh Valley 6: A nightmare ninth inning left the IronPigs (34-26) on the wrong end of a walk-off Saturday.

Lehigh Valley led 6-3 entering the frame, then saw RH Pedro Beato suffer only his second blown save of the year (19 chances) in stunning fashion. Beato allowed a season-worst five runs, three coming on a game-ending homer.

It meant another no decision for Ben Lively, who went a solid six innings with just an unearned run on five hits. The righthander struck out six and walked three.

The IronPigs had a five-run inning of their own to build an early lead.
