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).

Scott Moore had a big day at the plate in the Cubs 9-7 win over Oklahoma.  He went two for four with two homeruns and five RBIs.  Buck Coats also had a nice game and he went two for four with two doubles and three runs.

Iowa’s hitters were held in check in a 6-1 loss to Nashville.  Buck Coates drove in the lone run of the game and Scott Moore and Eric Patterson each had two hits.

Iowa scored six runs in the first inning.  Unfortunately, they didn’t score the rest of the game and the Isotopes scored five runs in the six.  That’s all they’d get though and the final was 6-5 Cubs.

J.R. Mathes picked up the win and he gave up five unearned runs in six innings.  The win boosted his record to 2-1.

You wonder if Felix Pie is wasting his time down in Triple A. He had three more hits today and he scored three times.  He’s now hitting .500 (7 for 14) on the season and he’s scored six runs.  It’s been quite an impressive debut for the outfielder.  Koyie Hill and Scott Moore each had three RBIs in the 9-4 win.

Carlos Marmol pitched a decent four innings in his start.  He gave up two runs on three hits and two walks with six strikeouts.  John Webb picked up the win in relief.  He gave up a single run in two innings.
