The Iowa Cubs served up the Buffalo Bison (Blue Jays) with celery and blue cheese dressing, 8-4. (I’ve been waiting to use that one.)
The I-Cubs jumped on the Bison for a run in the first inning and never trailed. Shortstop Dixon Machado led off the game with a walk, stole second base, went to third on a passed ball and after Brennen Davis walked, Machado scored on a double play grounder by P.J. Higgins.
Iowa scored two more runs in the second inning when catcher Tyler Payne and second baseman Trent Giambrone hit back-to-back doubles to lead off the inning.
