Iowa Cubs Fall in Fifth Straight Game in 3-2 Loss to Storm Chasers
(Des Moines, IA) – The Iowa Cubs have now earned their fifth straight loss in a 3-2 bout against the Omaha Storm Chasers. Omaha takes the series victory 5-1 in the worst series from the Iowa Cubs that we have seen yet this season.
The Storm Chasers started off scoring in this game after Nick Pratto hit a home run that launched over the left-center field wall to put Omaha up 1-0 at the top of the first inning. In the top of the second inning, Storm Chaser Tyler Tolbert was able to go up to the plate with bases loaded and one out when he grounded into a double play but was still able to score the second run of the ballgame by scoring Devin Mann before the play could finish on the field to put Omaha up 2-0. Omaha would then go on to score their last run of the game in the fifth inning off a sac-fly by John Rave to left field to score Cam DeVanney from third to go up 3-0.
Iowa was eventually able to make a little run of their own on the back nine. Jake Slaughter hit a single with a runner in scoring position at third base as Tyler Gentry was able to score and bring it to a 3-1 Omaha lead at the bottom of the eighth inning. In the bottom of the ninth, David Peralta added on a solo home run to put the Cubs within one run of tying things up. That was followed up by a strikeout, field error, flyout, and a groundout to finish the ballgame.
Earning the win on the day was Carlos Hernandez who pitched in 1.0 inning while allowing no earned runs and had two strikeouts. Will Klein was able to earn the save for Omaha while pitching in 1.0 inning and allowed just one hit which was the home run. With the loss on the day was Cubbie Dan Straily who pitched in 5.0 innings while allowing all three runs and having five strikeouts.
The Iowa Cubs will return to action when they travel to Syracuse on Tuesday with the game starting at 5:00 p.m.

DES MOINES, Iowa (KCRG) – Iowa’s top officials share their sentiments on the death of former Vice President Dick Cheney. He was 84.
Cheney’s wife of 61 years, Lynne, his daughters, Liz and Mary, and other family members were with him on Monday night, the family said in a statement, adding that the former vice president died of complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease.
“Dick Cheney was a great and good man who taught his children and grandchildren to love our country, and to live lives of courage, honor, love, kindness, and fly fishing,” the statement said. “We are grateful beyond measure for all Dick Cheney did for our country. And we are blessed beyond measure to have loved and been loved by this noble giant of a man.”
Governor Kim Reynolds said Tuesday that Cheney will be remembered as a patriot.
“Dick Cheney will be remembered as a remarkable statesman—in Congress and the Executive Branch, in times of peace and war, at home and abroad,“ she said. ”Above all, he will be remembered as a patriot, who dedicated his life to the service of his country. Kevin and I offer our sincere condolences and prayers to his family. May he rest in peace.”
Senator Chuck Grassley said in a post on X that his prayers were with Cheney’s family and that Cheney was “a true public servant and proud American.”
Grassley served in the U.S. House of Representatives with Cheney.
Senator Joni Ernst also regarded Cheney in a post on X Tuesday morning.
“Whether Vice President, Secretary of Defense, or in Congress, Dick Cheney was always proud to be an American,“ she said. ”His commitment to defeat terrorism ensured there was never another 9/11. He served his country honorably and dutifully. May he rest in peace.”
