Salt Lake Topples Iowa, 9-4
The Salt Lake Bees downed the Iowa Cubs, 9-4, at Principal Park. The Bees were led by Eric Thomas. Thomas was 3-5 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times. Mike Fry, the winner, goes to 2-1. He allowed 2 runs on 4 hits, with 3 walks and 4 strikeouts over 5 innings. The triumph makes Salt Lake 14-26.

Dave Richardson had a big run-scoring double for the Bees in the top of the fourth inning. With Salt Lake leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he got a slider from Mike Morris, who is tied for 8th in the AC in quality starts with 4, and swatted a double to left. It was his 3rd double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Bees ahead, 2-0.

"I think we all put in a good day's work," said Richardson.
