Iowa Cubs
The Iowa Cubs split a doubleheader with the New Orleans Baby Cakes (Marlins), losing game one 5-0 and winning the nightcap 7-4.
In the first game, starter Duane Underwood Jr. allowed only two hits in his 5.1 inning start. But the two hits he did allow were a single and a two-run home run to the first two batters he faced. Then Underwood retired 12 straight batters before a leadoff walk in the fifth inning, a runner he later erased with a double play. Then after two walks and one strikeout to lead off the sixth inning, Underwood left for James Norwood, who allowed both runners to score and one more of his own.
