Iowa doubled up Nashville 4-2 and it was Scott Moore who had a hand in most of that offense.  He went two for three with a walk, a homerun, two RBIs and two runs.  The only other player with a hit was Micah Hoffpauir.

J.R. Mathes gave up two runs in 6 1/3 innings but he didn’t pick up the win.  That went to Rocky Cherry as he got two batters out and he was in the right place at the right time.  He improved to 2-0 on the season (despite having a 7.33 ERA).

Micah Hoffpauir drove in yet another run with a sac. fly in the eighth inning and that proved to be the game winner in the Cubs 7-6 win over Round Rock.  Eric Patterson also had a great day at the plate.  He went three for five with a homerun and three RBIs.

Les Walrond was hit hard in the win and he gave up six runs in five innings.  Rocky Cherry picked up the win with two shutout relief innings.

Randy Wells gave up a single run on just two hits and two walks with three strikeouts in six innings of work to pick up the win.  Rocky Cherry had a mixed relief appearance.  He gave up a run on three hits but he struck out four in 1 2/3.

At the plate, Micah Hoffpauir provided the bulk of the offense.  He went three for four with two doubles, two runs and two RBIs.
