On a hot and muggy day at New Scotland, the Cubs earned a 18-9 victory over the Yankees. The Yanks got off to a flying start, by plating 4 runs in the top of the first. Joe Careccia and John Kalinski had the key hits, and the Cubs pitched in with two errors. The Cubs didn't allow the Yanks to enjoy that lead ver...
The Cyclones may still be searching for their first win in 2015, but for the second time in as many weeks, they gave the Blue Jays all that we wanted and more.
