Round Rock Roughed Up By Cubs
The Iowa Cubs stopped the Round Rock Express, 10-3, behind an impressive performance from Justin Christensen. The 26-year old center fielder made life miserable for Round Rock pitching. He slugged 2 home runs, while adding 5 RBI and scoring twice. Naykel Manilla was the winner. He's now 3-0. The loser was Carlos Villa. Early on, the Cubs, at 15-5, have played an impressive brand of baseball.

Early in the game, Christensen had a 3-run home run for Iowa. It was his 5th home run of the season and put the Cubs on top, 3-0.

"We came out with clear minds and swung the bats well," said Iowa manager Tom Fleming.
