I-Cubs Feel Singular Sensation

Good news: Iowa banged out fourteen hits last night.

Bad news: They were all singles, resulting in eleven men left on base, and a 9-5 loss to the Las Vegas 51’s [Dodgers] at Principal Park in Des Moines that snapped the I-Cubs’ four game winning streak.

Iowa’s attack was all jabs and no knockout punch.

Defensively Felix Pie drew more flies than a fresh cow pee-A as he tied a league record with eleven putouts in CF, including a hat trick in the fourth inning.

NAME[S] OF THE GAME DEPT. - Las Vegas’ starting pitcher was, I swear, SPIKE Lundberg. He was later relieved by, among others, Jonathan Meloan, which is notable only because few among us have surnames that can be anagrammed without being changed [M-E-L-O-A-N = M-A-L-O-N-E]…finally, how about the Las Vegas 51’s? When you put their record right after their name it looks like a safe combination: 51s-54w-62l…MW
