River Cats 4, Cubs 3
Saturday July 26, 2003
WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) Justin Duchscherer pitched eight
impressive innings and Graham Koonce sparked the offense in the
Sacramento River Cats' 4-3 victory over the Iowa Cubs.
Koonce, Sacramento's first baseman and clean-up hitter, had the
game-winning RBI on a single in the bottom of the eighth. The River
Cats then loaded the bases but did not score.
Duchscherer, the River Cats starter, improved to 10-2. He
allowed six hits and three runs, struck out six and walked none.
After Koonce's home run in the second made it 1-1, Iowa took a
2-1 lead in the third on Augie Ojeda's home run. Sacramento
shortstop Bobby Crosby's triple in the sixth scored Chris Prieto,
tying it at 3-3.
Koonce was then intentionally walked, giving the River Cats
runners on first and third with no outs. But Mike Edwards grounded
into a double play, ending the rally.
Iowa starter Mike Wuertz pitched five innings, striking out six,
walking one and allowing three hits and two runs.
