IOWA CUBS 12, ST. PAUL SAINTS 7 IN IOWA

Edouard Julien started the game with a home run and Jose Miranda hit an RBI double to give St. Paul a 2-0 lead.  Iowa rebounded with four in the bottom of the first.  St. Paul got one back in the second, but Owen Caissie hit a three-run single-plus-error in the third to make it 7-3 Iowa.  St. Paul came back with four in the fourth on two-run homers by Mickey Gasper and Emmanuel Rodriguez.  From there, though, it was all Iowa.  Matt Shaw hit a two-run homer in the fifth and the Cubs scored single runs in the sixth, seventh, and eighth.

Batters:  Mike Ford was 2-for-5 with two doubles and a run.  Patrick Winkel was 2-for-5.  Edouard Julien was 1-for-2 with a home run, three walks, and two runs.  Mickey Gasper hit a two-run homer, his seventh.  Emmanuel Rodriguez hit a two-run homer, his third.

Pitchers:  Starter Tyler Beede lasted just 1.2 innings, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks and striking out two.

Stats:  Mickey Gasper, .357/1.292.  Carson McCusker, .350/.1.062.  Mike Ford, .862 OPS.  Jeferson Morales, .804 OPS.  Richard Lovelady, 1.59 ERA.
