Iowa Cubs News Release
The Iowa Cubs fell to the Omaha Royals, 6-3, Thursday night at Principal Park in front of 10,009 fans.
The Cubs took an early 2-0 lead in the first inning. Darwin Barney, who was named to the Pacific Coast League All-Star team earlier in the day, singled and scored on Brad Snyder's double. Micah Hoffpauir then drove in Snyder with a single for the 2-0 Iowa lead.
Omaha responded with a second-inning run thanks to Kila Ka'aihue's solo home run, to trim Iowa's lead, 2-1. The Royals took the lead in the third inning when Cody Clark plated Jai Miller with a double. David Lough then tripled and a throwing error by Iowa second baseman Matt Camp left the playing field, allowing Lough to take home and increase the lead, 3-2.
The Cubs tied it up in the fourth inning when Ty Wright singled for his first Triple-A hit. Welington Castillo doubled home Wright to tie the game 3-3. Castillo, Bryan LaHair and Hoffpauir collected two hits in the win.
