Congratulations to Pelicans pitcher Javier Assad, who was named Carolina League Pitcher of the Week for the second-straight week! Assad got the award for a start in which he threw seven scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and striking out nine.
The Iowa Cubs were spanked by the New Orleans Baby Cakes (Marlins), 5-2.
Duane Underwood Jr. started this game and this is going to take a little time to explain. Underwood got into trouble in the first inning, allowing three runs on three singles, an error and a hit by pitch.
