Pelicans SS Ed Howard fell a home run short of the cycle in the victory
After the first two innings went scoreless between the two teams, the Pelicans struck first with two runs in the third. Fabian Pertuz, Howard, and Flemin Bautista all singled to load the bases on Gomez. After Ryan Reynolds was retired on a lineout, Gomez was taken out for Tejada. The reliever struggled with location, as he walked Mervis and Wetzel to bring home both runs for the Pelicans to take a 2-0 lead.
Down East responded with one run in the next half-inning. Cody Freeman worked a one-out walk, while Cristian Inoa reached base after Jordan Nwogu dropped a routine fly ball in left field. Alejandro Osuna walked to load the bases, and Espinoza allowed a run by walking Ricumstrict to make it a 2-1 game.

Congratulations to Tennessee Smokies outfielder
Brennen Davis and Iowa Cubs right-handed reliever
Manuel Rodriguez, who were both named to the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game today. They’re doing NL versus AL instead of US versus the World this year, so the American Davis and the Mexican Rodriguez will be on the same team this time, as we hope they are for many years to come.
Iowa Cubs
Mike Hausman turned in his best start in the Cubs organization, tossing six shutout innings. He allowed just three hits. He struck out five and did not walk anyone.
