Everyone lost tonight and that kind of stinks, but nice nights of Kevin Alcántara, Ty Southisene and Mason McGwire.

Connor Noland pitched the first five innings and took the loss after he permitted three runs on six hits.
He walked two, hit one and struck out two. The I-Cubs’ only run came on left fielder Kevin Alcántara’s league-leading 14th home run in the second inning. He was 1 for 4.
First baseman Jonathon Long was 2 for 3 with a double and a walk. Alcántara’s home run went 377 feet on a line. THE JAGUAR DOES IT AGAIN!
