Iowa Cubs News Release
DES MOINES, IA - The Iowa Cubs (10-9) did just enough to beat the Indianapolis Indians (10-9) by a score of 3-2, Wednesday at Principal Park.
The two teams were locked in a 0-0 tie through the first two innings, with just one combined hit over that time. Ji-Hwan Bae broke the scoreless tie with a solo home run in the third inning, giving the Indians a 1-0 lead.
It was the only run starter Caleb Kilian would surrender, pitching four-plus innings of one-run ball. Kilian allowed just three hits and two walks while striking out four. He was relieved by Brandon Hughes, making his Triple-A debut.
Hughes spun two scoreless frames in his debut, walking one compared to two strikeouts. Iowa took the lead, their first of the series, in the bottom of the fifth when Esteban Quiroz delivered with a two-run blast.
Indianapolis tied the game in the seventh, scoring an unearned run against Erich Uelmen, but Iowa would once again take the lead. John Hicks reached base on a bunt base hit, advancing to third on two ground ball outs. He then scored on a passed ball, manufacturing a run to give Iowa a 3-2 lead.
Uelmen threw a scoreless eighth followed by Eric Stout who struck out the side in the ninth to end the game, tying the series at one game apiece.
