Oakland (AZL) Dealt 7-4 Defeat
The Chicago N (AZL) Cubs spoiled a good performance by Oakland (AZL) left fielder Kyle Owens, bumping off Oakland (AZL), 7-4, at Papago Park Sports Facility. Owens went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and was hit by a pitch. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Chicago N (AZL) reliever Fernan Lameiras snagged the win, upping his record to 2-0. Sam Roy shouldered the loss. Getting the save was Sergio Gaona, his 4th.

Chicago N (AZL) used a well-timed hit by Danny Mercedes to capture the win. The first baseman socked a run-scoring double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Cubs ahead, 2-1. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

"I told our guys, 'Runs don't score by themselves,'" said Mercedes. "You need someone to get on base and someone to drive them in."

Chicago N (AZL) is now 18-3, Oakland (AZL) 6-15.
