(Paat Kelly photo) Colorado Springs Box Score No wonder my initial box score link was faulty here -- as summary explained, Sky Sox were the "road" team in this make-up game; what a pretty box with everyone contributing...

Final, Game One: Colorado Springs 8, Iowa 1, seven innings as scheduled Jungmann Shuts Down Iowa In Win Nieuwenhuis sparks four-run third inning By Robby Veronesi / Colorado Springs Sky Sox Kirk Nieuwenhuis grounded a two-run single to right field to give the Sky Sox a lead during the four-run third inning. (Paat Kelly photo) Colorado Springs Box Score Taylor Jungmann and Kirk Nieuwenhuis grabbed the headlines above and you wouldn't realize it from the game summary, but Ryan Cordell (playing CF), was 4-for-5 with two RBI and fell a home run shy of a cycle, as he says "Don't Forget About Me" amidst the call-up parade. Still plenty of talent here, folks! Colorado Springs Game Log Jungmann walked four, but seemed to come out of his first 2017 home start in the Springs psychologically sound...

18-year-old second-year middle infielder Luis Avila has a .188 career batting average and .188 slugging percentage. Yup, all 36 of his hits thus far are singles.

RHP Joaquin De La Cruz The 21-year-old was a corner infielder in the Cardinals system for his age 17 and 18 DSL seasons. Now entering his 3rd season as a pitcher with the Crew, De La Cruz technically begins his 5th pro season on the island.

Biloxi, Pensacola GMs wage friendly competition to close first half Competition between rival clubs involve a bushel of oysters and ten pounds of Wahoo Nice, but a three-game head start, that's rough, they don't play each other own the stretch.

23-year-old RHP Bubba Derby gets bumped up to Colorado Springs from Biloxi, as RHP Tyler Cravy is placed on the Sky Sox DL retro to 6/9 with an undisclosed injury. Remains to be seen if this will be a short-term stay, similar to that of RHP Angel Ventura last month.
