SANTA FE DOWNS CUBS IN SEASON OPENER
Santa Fe erupted for four runs in the first inning and spoiled the Cubs’ season opener, 6-4 at Firemen’s park, Tuesday night.
A one-out three-run homer got the Indians on the board just four batters into the game. A double and single followed to increase the Cubs’ deficit to 4-0.
The Cubs knotted up the game with four runs in the fifth inning.
Jacob Stegent drove in JaQuay Cross with a double. Ryan Newman drove in Stegent with a single.
A Santa Fe error led to two Cub runs, tying up the game at 4-4.
However, in the top of the sixth, Santa Fe strung together two hits and two walks to take the lead back, 6-4.
That lead would hold up as the Cubs fall to 0-1.
Ryan Newman led the Cubs offensively with two hits, a run and an rbi.
The Cubs will be back in action this weekend at the Round Rock Hardball Classic.
