AZL Cubs Five-Run 8th Tops AZL Brewers at Riverview

Kevin Zamudio slugged a two-run home run over the LF fence to put the Cubs on the scoreboard and Luis Ayala belted a three-run inside-the-park home run into the right-centerfield alley two outs later, as the AZL Cubs rallied to score five runs in the bottom of the 8th and defeat the AZL Brewers 5-3 in Arizona League (AZL) Opening Day action Monday night on Field #1 at the Riverview Baseball Complex in Mesa, AZ.

AZL Cubs LHRP Yapson Gomez hurled three innings of perfect baseball and picked-up the win.

RHRP Aaron Crow (April 2015 TJS) pitched the first inning for the AZL Cubs (14 pitches - 10 strikes), allowing no runs and a single, with a strikeout and 1/1 GO/AO.
