At Least the Iowa Cubs Pulled Off a Big Comeback and Walked It Off

The big league team did do the comeback thing, but wound up on the wrong side of a walk-off against the Diamondbacks. That sucked.

At least the Triple-A edition went the right way, as the Iowa Cubs came back from a 7-4 deficit in the 9th inning, ultimately walking it off on a Luis Vazquez two-run single:

Pete Crow-Armstrong had a late homer to help in the comeback, Owen Caissie and B.J. Murray Jr. had big games, and Jose Cuas notched three strikeouts in the 9th.
