Alex Ferguson earned the save for Iowa, his 2nd of the year.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Bob Smith? The Iowa left fielder had a run-scoring double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Cubs on top, 2-0. For the game, Smith had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We did a lot of things right," said Smith.
