Cubs Winners, 7-2, Over Diamondbacks
Though he had a terrific game, Nate Middlebrook could not prevent his team, the Arizona (AZL) Diamondbacks, from absorbing a loss. Chicago N (AZL) won the game, 7-2. Middlebrook was 4-4 with a home run and 3 singles. The winner in relief was Loeck van Rooij. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 6 hits in 5.1 innings. He now owns a record of 2-0. With the win, Chicago N (AZL) improves its record to 7-1.

Tommy Diffey had a big 3-run home run for the Cubs in the bottom of the second inning. With Chicago N (AZL) trailing 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from 20-year old right-handed pitcher Carlos Marquez and swatted a home run to right. It was his 3rd home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Cubs ahead, 3-1.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Diffey.
