The I-Cubs went with an opener today as Luke Little threw the first inning. He issued a one-out walk, but no other baserunners. Little struck out one.
Connor Noland came out for the second inning and allowed just two runs on four hits over the next 5.2 innings. Noland walked three and struck out five.
Unfortunately Keegan Thompson gave up a three-run home run in the bottom of the eighth to Carson McCusker and got the loss. Thompson’s final line was three runs on two hits and a walk over 1.
