Express explode with fireworks, at the plate and in the sky

The evening began a little shaky as the Round Rock Express hosted their fans to an early July 4th celebration.  The Express allowed a first inning lead to the Iowa Cubs on a poor throw by 3B Pedro Ciriaco that eventually allowed the lead off hitter to score.  Overly aggressive base running caught Ciriaco in a rundown between third base and home.  DH Delino DeShields also got a caught in a play at the plate.  Solid pitching by the Express starter RHP Austin Bibens-Dirkx kept Round Rock in the game.  Bidens-Kirkx to allow five hits and one run over seven innings.  And it was a two-run home run by C Brett Nicholas in the eighth inning that pushed the Express to victory.  Final score as Round Rock Express 3 and the Iowa Cubs 2.
