Reds Clonk Cubs, 9-1
Cincinnati (AZL) starter Dominic Blake kept the Chicago N (AZL) hitters in check, helping his team cruise to a win, 9-1. Dan Allen earned save number 1 this season. Cincinnati (AZL) has run its win streak to 4 consecutive.

The Cubs had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Reds going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 24-year old third baseman Phil Baker came to the plate. Baker hit a 2-run home run on a full count knuckle curve from Chicago N (AZL) hurler Edgardo Méndez. It was Baker's 5th home run of the year.

Said losing manager Steve Fisher: "It's very easy to sit in an ivory tower and critique the pitching, but the bottom line is we need to score runs."
