Cubs Raise Rally Flag, Beat Missoula, 5-1
The Chicago (Rk+) Cubs wanted a good start from Carlos Cruz -- and he delivered one. The result was a 5-1 Chicago (Rk+) win over the Missoula Osprey at Ogren Park at Allegiance Field. The Cubs now own a record of 38-23.

Chicago (Rk+) used the timely hitting of Doug States to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Cubs on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"This was a nice win for us," said States. "It's one more step toward our ultimate goal."
