Iowa got 2.2 scoreless innings from Luke Farrell while Indianapolis used two relievers to cover five innings and get to the eighth. The I-Cubs broke the 1-1 tie in the top of that inning, when Greg Deichmann knocked an RBI single to bring in the go-ahead run.
Up 2-1, Brendon Little and Nicholas Padilla each threw 0.2 innings to record the final four outs and give Iowa a one-game lead in the series.
