Welde, Cubs Wallop Express in Game 3 of R1
The Iowa Cubs moved to within one game of the Round 2, downing the Round Rock Express on the road at Dell Diamond by a score of 8-2. Cubs catcher Peter Welde was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. The win gives the Cubs a 2-1 advantage in the best-of-5 Round 1.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Joe Stephens? The Iowa third baseman had a bases-clearing double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Cubs on top, 5-0. For the game, Stephens had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Stephens.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Dell Diamond in Round Rock.
