Iowa Sunk by Colorado Springs, 4-1
Colorado Springs picked up a win at Principal Park, bumping off the Iowa Cubs, 4-1. Pitcher Chris Metcalf was a major reason the Sky Sox emerged victorious. Metcalf, the winner, moves to 2-6. He threw 7 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 8 and giving up 6 walks. The Sky Sox, now 15-21, know that wins in May count the same as wins in September.

Colorado Springs relied on the hitting of Damian Meade to pick up the win. The center fielder ripped a run-scoring triple in the top of the fourth inning to put the Sky Sox on top, 3-1. For the game, Meade had 1 triple and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"You score one run, you're not going to win," said Iowa skipper Gera Alvarez. "You can have three Koufaxes and three Drysdales, you're still not going to win."
