Cheesesteaks Turn Back Iowa, 3-1
The Philadelphia Cheesesteaks tallied a win at William Penn Park, throttling the Iowa Crop Circles, 3-1. Starting pitcher Doug Benson was a big reason for his team's success. Benson, now 4-5, was the winner. In 7.1 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 4, walking 2, and allowing 1 run. Philadelphia has 3 straight wins, Iowa 3 straight losses.

Artie Martin had a big 2-run home run for the Cheesesteaks in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Philadelphia leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from former first round draft pick Andy Lindsay and punished it. The result was his 8th home run of the season, which put the Cheesesteaks on top, 3-0.

"I just trusted my stuff," said Benson.
