Why are they called the Rays when they play in a dome without sunlight?

Iowa Cubs

The Iowa Cubs won their third in a row over the Oklahoma City RedHawks (Astros) 3-2.

Dave Bush made his I-Cub debut today. He only went 2.1 innings, as he was on a pitch count. He allowed one run on five hits. Bush walked two and struck out three.

Chris Rusin got the win with four innings of relief; allowing only one run on four hits. He walked no one and struck out two.

Justin Berg had some trouble in the ninth, but pitched out of it and got his third save. He walked one and allowed one single in a scoreless inning. He struck out Koby Clemens with runners on second and third to end the game.

All of the I-Cub scoring came courtesy of a three-run home run in the sixth inning by catcher Chris Robinson. It was his first home run this season. Robinson was 1 for 4.
