A Memorable Night for the Iowa Cubs

The great successes of the Chicago Cubs are being matched by their AAA farm team, the Iowa Cubs. Our Cubs are getting strong and consistent performances at all positions with notable contributions from Felix Pie, Jason DuBois, hitter-of-the-week Micah Hoffpauir, and five other starters all hitting over .275.

Jeff Samardzija, former University of Notre Dame star in both football and baseball picked up his third win in four starts on Wednesday night. The 5-2 win in the second game of a double header against Round Rock kept the Cubs in first place in their division.

Hard-hitting outfielder Jason DuBois had a career game, hitting three towering home runs in three at bats in game two. The same two teams play Thursday July 10 but then won’t return home until Friday July 18.

Principal Park is a wonderful baseball stadium, and the Iowa Cubs are playing great baseball. Head on out.
