Game Start: 2:05 PM
Weather: 72 deg. Rain with a 10 MPH wind blowing in from center.

Frank Wiginton works the count full and takes ball four. Don Quinney swings at the first pitch and grounds into a 5-4-3 double play. Rich Babbin works the count full and takes ball four. Ernesto Gonzelez grounds out to short.

Bottom of the 1st: John Godfrey lines a hit to center. Jake Johnson flies out to left. Larry Menard flies out to right. Arturo Guerra grounds a hit to right and Godfrey easily makes 3rd. Tim Elliott grounds one to 2nd, but Mike Cavallaro makes a bad throw and Godfrey scores. E-4. 1 to 0, Cubs. That is Cavallaro's 1st error of the season, in his 39th start, so I guess we should not complain, but did it have to come with 2 outs and a runner on 3rd? Joe Gombos pops out to the catcher.

Top of the 2nd: Tim DePriest leads off with a line drive to center for a hit and Mike Cavallaro draws a walk. A passed ball sends them to 2nd and 3rd. Ivan Lopez grounds a hit up the middle and scores them both! 2 to 1, Beavers! Steve Jensen then hits a home run to left! 4 to 1, Beavers.

Bottom of the 2nd: Toby Bey leads off with a single. With 1 out, P Ralph Day reaches on an error by P Angel Rodriguez. E-1. With 2 outs, Jake Johnson hits a home run to left to tie the game at 4.

Top of the 3rd: After Rich Babbin leads off with a hit up the middle, the rain gets heavy and the umpires put a stop to play. 38 minutes later, we are back at it. Ernesto Gonzelez grounds into a force at 2nd, 4-6. Tim DePriest grounds a hit up the middle. Mike Cavallaro doubles to left and both runners score! 6 to 4, Beavers! P Ralph Day is relieved. New pitcher: RHP Ed Anders. Ivan Lopez grounds a hit up the middle and Cavallaro scores! 7 to 4, Beavers!

Bottom of the 7th: CF Gene Clem leads off with a grounder to left for a hit. Get the Bullpen up! John Godfrey walks from a full count. Jake Johnson singles from a full count and Clem scores. 7 to 5, Beavers. Call to the Bullpen: RHP Ron Beckman. Larry Menard pops out to 1st. Full count to Arturo Guerra and he takes ball four to load the bases. Tim Elliott grounds into a force at home, 4-2, but beats the relay to 1st. 2 outs. Pinch-hitter: LHB Melvin Hernandez. .229 with 2 home runs in 129 AB. Just the sort of hitter than will beat us.... He grounds a hit to right and 2 runs score to tie the game at 7. Toby Bey grounds out to short to end the inning.

Top of the 9th: Still tied at 7. New pitcher: RHP Garland Roop, their current closer. 16 SV 4.21 ERA. 25.2 IP, 29 H, 1 HR, 18 BB and 29 SO. Pinch-Hitter: LHB Jerry Alston. He walks. Pinch-Hitter: LHB Randy Penn. He lays down a good bunt and moves Alston over. They walk Frank Wiginton intentionally. Now my favorite tactic against the intentional walk is in order: the double steal. They go! Throw is hight o3rd and Alston is safe! Full count to Don Quinney and he walks to load the bases up with 1 out. Now our favorite tactic for killing innings is in order: the GDP. Rich Babbin strikes out. Ernesto Gonzelez grounds out to 1st, 3-1. Drats....

Bottom of the 9th: New Pitcher: RHP Larry Castillo. Jake Johnson leads off with a home run to left center. Ballgame....
