Congratulations to Tennessee Smokies pitcher Cayne Ueckert, who was your choice for the BCB Minor League Pitcher of the Month! Certainly Ueckert was impressive in his time with South Bend and Tennessee with an 18-3 strikeout-to-walk ratio and 1.42 ERA over 12.2 innings. At one point he went 7.2 innings without allowing a hit.
The Iowa Cubs were soaked by the Omaha Storm Chasers (Royals), 13-8.
Omaha scored six runs in the third inning and never looked back. Starting pitcher Matt Swarmer took the loss. He was charged with seven runs on nine hits over 2.
