Cubs Slip Past Sky Sox, 9-5
The Iowa Cubs beat the Colorado Springs Sky Sox, 9-5, at Security Service Field. The win was due in part to center fielder Andy Rustay, who went 2-3 with a home run and 2 walks. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Colt Byler finished the game for Iowa and earned his 13th save. The Cubs saw their win-loss record go to 60-60. At the same time, the Sky Sox fell to 67-52.

Had Jonathan Manes not delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Manes hit a 2-run single. That made the score 6-5, in favor of the Cubs.

"We take it day by day here," said Manes, "and today was a good one for us."
