Cubs Defeat Express in 11
The Iowa Cubs dumped the Round Rock Express, 6-4, in large part due to second baseman Gomez Bessa. On the day, Bessa was 2-4 with a home run and 2 walks. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Cubs. Reliever Alexis Espinoza picked up the win. His record improves to 3-1. Aaron Jackson took the loss. By defeating Round Rock, the third-place Cubs improved to 44-41.

The game was at a stalemate until designated hitter Joe Crouch came to bat in the top of the 11th. Facing Round Rock pitcher Aaron Jackson, he hit a 1-2 splitter for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Iowa on top, 5-4.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Iowa manager Tom Fleming.
