Iowa Cubs News Release
INDIANAPOLIS, IN - The Indianapolis Indians (38-39) scored two runs in extra-innings, taking down the Iowa Cubs (34-44) by a score of 5-4, Monday at Victory Field.
Iowa didn't waste any time getting on the board, as Jackson Frazier knocked in Darius Hill to take a 1-0 lead. The lead wouldn't last for long, as two errors in the bottom of the first inning aided the Indians to score three runs.
Javier Assad settled down from there, allowing just the three runs over 4.1 innings of work in his Triple-A debut. He got taken off the hook in the fifth inning, when Narciso Crook hit a two-run blast to tie the game at 3-3.
From there, both bullpens took over, keeping each opposing offense off the board from the sixth through the ninth. In extras, Iowa got a run on a wild pitch, but the Indians pushed across two runs on a walk-off two-run single by Major League rehabber Kevin Newman to win the series opener.
