After losing yesterday to the Dodgers, we are home to face the Cubs.

Chicago is pitching Greg Maddux (14-7, 3.57).

The Giants are going wth Pat Combs (6-5, 3.69).

I am hitting seventh.

I dealt with a Jeff King grounder for the 1st out in the 2nd.
Chris Hoiles scored on a Tim Barker double.

Cubs lead 1-0

I came up with two out in the bottom of the 2nd and grounded out to Barker at short.

I took care of a Hoiles grounder for the 1st out in the 4th.
Then I did the same to King for the 2nd out.

I handled a Travis Fryman fielder's choice ball for the 2nd out in the 5th.

I then led off the bottom of the 5th by hitting one down the right field line for a double.
Stolen base #64.
I was left at 3rd.

Willie Murray led off the 6th with a home run.

Cubs lead 2-0

I caught a Maddux pop for the 1st out in the 7th.

I came up in the bottom of the frame with one out and Craig Grebeck on 1st. I flew out to Murray in centre.

In the 8th I caught a King liner and doubled Murray off 2nd.

In the bottom of the 8th, Bryce Bernadin hit a two run homer to tie the game!

Game tied 2-2

Jeff Russell took the mound for us in the 9th.

I came up in the bottom of the 9th with one out and Mitch Williams on the bump. Wild Thing walked me.
I was thrown out trying to steal 2nd.

Mike Perez took the ball for us in the 11th.
Murray and Mark Grace scored on a double by Brian Jordan.
I took care of a grounder by pinch hitter Ivan Rodriguez to end the inning.

Cubs lead 4-2

I came up in the bottom of the 11th with one out, Craig on 1st, and Ed Wojna pitching. I flew out to Murray in centre.

We couldn't get the runs back and lost.

I went 1 for 4 with a double, a stolen base, and a caught stealing.
