Good evening everyone. Josh normally handles these recaps but is unavailable tonight, so bear with me as I take guest duties for the night!
Iowa Cubs
First up it was the Iowa Cubs up against the Saint Paul Saints. Nick Neidert was on the mound, but only for an inning of work, giving up two hits and a run, and quickly giving way to the Cubs’ bullpen as Michael Rucker would be the next in a long series of pitchers for the afternoon game.
Highlight moments for the 4-3 Cubs win were a Matt Mervis double in the bottom of the third inning allowing Jared Young to score, and tying the game after Saints’ Michael Helman scored on a wild pitch in the first.
