I was away at the beach most of today and I had a lot of emotions when I got back and looked at the notifications on my phone. I’m sure most of you are feeling the same, so I won’t bother sharing my feelings. But what we can do is focus on the players who are in the organization, including a great effort by the new-look I-Cubs tonight.
Iowa Cubs
Ryan Meisinger had two scoreless innings and
Tony Cingrani tossed one. The save went to
Ben Leeper, who allowed a two-out single in the top of the ninth but no other baserunners in his inning of work. Leeper struck out one.
