New Orleans was a combined 5-11 against the I-Cubs at Zephyr Field the last two years, after posting a 16-4 mark at home vs. Iowa over the previous three seasons, but could clinch their first series victory of the season with a win tonight. YESTERDAY S NEWS Kenny Wilson s double in the bottom of the ninth scored Don Kelly from first base with the winning run as the Zephyrs walked off against the Iowa Cubs, 3-2. Elliot Soto began the winning rally with a leadoff single, and after Kelly reached on a force out, Wilson s line drive to right-center field allowed Kelly to race around the bases and narrowly avoid a tag at the plate to bring home the game-winner. The Z s got 6.2 strong innings from starter Kendry Flores, who retired the first 13 batters until Albert Almora s one-out double in the fifth. Destin Hood handed Flores a quick 1- lead with a first-inning RBI single to cash in a leadoff walk by Wilson, and Hood doubled the lead in sixth with his second home run in as many days. Almora put the Cubs on the board with a seventh-inning solo shot against Flores, and Juan Perez tied the score an inning later with a leadoff homer off Greg Nappo, who scattered a run and four hits over 2.1 innings of relief to get the win despite a blown save.
