Round Rock 6, Iowa 4
W- Brandon Bielak (1-3, 4-3 season)
L- Trevor Clifton (2-7)
S- Felipe Paulino (1)
RR home runs: Josh Rojas (5, 13 season; grand slam in 6th)
A one-man show on offense was good enough for the E-Train as they took this five-game series from the Cubs.
Both teams put up five zeroes apiece until Josh Rojas clubbed a grand slam in the 6th inning to break the 0-0 tie. He added an RBI single in the 8th and Drew Ferguson drove in Round Rock's final run with an RBI single in the 9th. Rojas, Ferguson, and Taylor Jones finished with two hits on the afternoon; Rojas has now homered in four consecutive games.
Brandon Bielak was outstanding as he allowed just one hit, walked one, and struck out nine over seven shutout innings. The bullpen was a bit shaky but they were able to close it out. Kent Emanuel got two outs in the 8th, both via strikeout, but he also allowed three runs on three hits and walked two. Felipe Paulino got Round Rock out of the 8th with the lead and ended up pitching the 9th to get the save. He allowed two hits, one of which was a solo homer, and struck out one.
The E-Train is heading back down to Texas as they'll start a four-game set in San Antonio at 7:05.

GCL home runs: Yorbin Ceuta (1, 2-run in 2nd)
The Palm Beach Stros dropped their first game of 2019 a five-run 7th inning from the Marlins sent them to their doom.
Yorbin Ceuta drove in the GCL squad's first two runs of the year by launching a home run in the 2nd inning. Sean Mendoza walked to lead off the 3rd, advanced to third on a Ronaldo Urdaneta single, and stole home. Yefri Carrillo scored when José Álvarez grounded into a double play in the 6th. Álvarez ripped an RBI triple in the 8th and he wound up scoring on a wild pitch. He and Urdaneta both finished 2-4 on the afternoon.
Cole McDonald pitched two perfect innings in his pro debut, striking out two. Heitor Tokar was the first man out of the Palm Beach 'Stros pen and he allowed three runs on four hits, walked two, and struck out two. Daniel Bello pitched three innings and allowed five runs (two inherited runners charged to him) on four hits, walked three, and struck out two. Danny Cody got the last 2.1 innings, allowing a hit and striking out two. The one hit was a two-run single that resulted in both of Bello's runners scoring.

Yohander Martinez stole second as part of a double steal in the 1st and he ended up scoring the first run of the day on an errant throw. Carlos Hurtado hit an RBI single in the 3rd and then Sebastian Grullón grounded into a force out that allowed Martinez to score. Hurtado scored on a wild pitch in the 5th. Freddy Guilamo followed with a two-run single and he came around to score on Martinez's base hit.
