Iowa and Memphis combined for 25 runs on 31 hits in a game where pitching went out the window.  Micah Hoffpauir’s grand slam in the bottom of the eighth gave the Cubs the lead and Buck Coats had a huge game in which he went five for five with two homeruns, five RBIs and three runs.

Clay Rapada picked up the win with 1 1/3 shutout innings.  Neal Cotts was roughed up in his start and he gave up eight runs and he didn’t even last through the fifth inning.
