Iowa Cubs
The Iowa Cubs were declared heretics by the St. Paul Saints (Twins), 11-8.
Starter Connor Noland gave up a solo home run in the top of the first inning and then settled down until the fourth when the wheels came off and he allowed five more runs. Noland took the loss after giving up six runs on eight hits over 3.2 innings. A very bright sign was that Noland struck out seven Saints and didn’t walk any of them.
Riley Martin pitched two innings of relief without allowing a run or a hit.
