The Simla Cubs are packing up and heading out on the road for their first away game of the season: they will square off against the Akron Rams at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. Akron took a loss in their last contest and will be looking to turn the tables on Simla, who comes in off a win.
Simla is headed out to face Akron after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Simla put the hurt on Peetz with a sharp 12-2 win on Friday.
T.J. Eurich made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 15 batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off two hits. That's the fewest hits he has allowed since back in March of 2024. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing a base while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
