Pitching carries Erie to series win as the full minor league season opens

The Hens jumped out to a little lead in this one, but the Cubs blew up spot starter Bryan Sammons, and then Brendan White in relief, to seize control of this one and take the series on Sunday.

Wenceel Perez stayed hot, leading off the game with a double and scoring on a Jace Jung single. In the third, Buddy Kennedy led off with a double, and a pair of sacrifice flies brought him home 2-0 Hens.

Sammons leaked a run in the bottom of the third, and then fell apart in the fourth as the Cubs scored seven runs.
