Mansfield was leading 1–0 after two innings, but the hit over the left field fence by Ivy's Chad Watters gave the Leafs a two run lead. Rob Kinsley led the Cubs off in the bottom of the third inning with a single followed up by a steal at second base. Brad Caldwell hit a single to advance the Cubs to third base and they notched another run on the next at bat to make it a 3–2 game. The Leafs managed two more runs in the fourth inning on some impressive bat work that placed the ball deep into the field and bought some time for the base runners. An error in the fifth inning brought in another Ivy run to make it a 6–2 game. The Cubs challenged late in the game and brought in two more runs but they couldn't close the gap and had to settle for an 8–4 loss to the visitors. After eight games into the season the Cubs are at .500 with a 4–4 record. A couple of losses started the season but the Cubs turned it around with three wins in a row before losing a high scoring game to Clearview on May 24.
