"It was a defensive battle on Wednesday in the Iowa Cubs 3-2 win over the Columbus Clippers (Guardians). Early on in this one, we got web gems from both Kevin Alcántara and Pedro Ramirez. Alcántara showed off his arm, throwing a runner out trying to take second base in the top of the first. Then, in the top of the fourth, Ramirez flashed the leather, making a diving stop with two outs and runners on the corners, keeping this game scoreless."
"The scoring finally started in the sixth. With one out and a runner on third, BJ Murray finally helped Iowa scrape a run across with a sac fly. That 1-0 lead lasted until the top of the eighth, when Columbus was able to tie the game up off Gabe Klobosits on an RBI single. The game went to extras, where the Cubs and Clippers would trade runs in the 10th."
"Iowa's run came on a Christian Bethancourt RBI single. In the top of the 11th, Luke Little kept Columbus off the board. Then, in the bottom half, Pedro Ramirez played the hero with runners on the corners and no one out, walking off the Clippers with a game-winning RBI single."
