Ben Brown fired 3.2 innings of perfect baseball with eight strikeouts (7 swinging), and Jonathon Long (RBI single), Christian Franklin (RBI double), and Jefferson Rojas (RBI single) stroked run-scoring hits, to highlight intrasquad game action at Cubs Minor League Camp Monday afternoon at the Riverview Park Baseball Complex in Mesa, AZ.
Brown was facing the Lo-A Myrtle Beach Pelicans squad whose lineup included five players who spent last season in the ACL and three others who spent last season in the DSL, but still it was an impressive and thoroughly dominating performance (38 pitches - 28 strikes - 14 swing & miss - three foul balls - FB 95-97 / SL 84-87).
