Viva l’Italia!
I think that’s what you say. Apologies in advance if that’s actually some kind of insult.
That is all to say, Team Italy took down the mighty Chicago Cubs today (in an exhibition game of limited competitive intentionality) 8-7 at Sloan Park. The Italian crew got out to a 6-1 lead until the Cubs put up a six spot in the 6th inning, which included homers by expected AAA Iowa bats Taylor Davis and Chris Dominguez.
Alas, two runs for the Italians in the 9th in Jake Buchanan’s second inning spelled doom for the Cubs.
… but this doesn’t even count in the Cactus League standings, so now who looks silly, eh?!?
