Isbel knocked a solo shot off of Biagini in the second inning to start the scoring. The Storm Chasers added two more in the fourth on RBI singles from McBroom and Isbel, as well as two in the fifth when McBroom drove in two with a double.
Up 5-0, Omaha scored a sixth run in the sixth inning on a balk from Biagini. The righty ended his night allowing six runs on nine hits, allowing one walk and striking out four through six innings of work.
Iowa added a run in the seventh when Erick Castillo scored on a wild pitch and one in the ninth on a Levi Jordan solo home run, but that was all they would score as they fell by a final score of 6-2.
