Mike Fontenot had a very solid day at the plate. He went three for five with two doubles and three RBIs. Angel Pagan finished with three hits, three runs and an RBI.

Carlos Marmol got it done yesterday in a blow out win over Round Rock.  He gave up just five hits and he struck out ten in 5 1/3 shutout innings.  In all, the three Iowa pitchers struck out 15 batters.

While Micah Hoffpauir didn’t have a great day at the plate, he made his one hit count because it was a grand slam.  Angel Pagan and Mike Fontenot each had two hits and two runs in the win.
