Cubs Hold Off Red Sox

Before a standing room only gathering at the Double A Field (see photo below), the Cubs jumped out to an 8-1 lead on the Red Sox and hung on for an 8-7 victory. Parker Garrett banged out two hits, including a double, and knocked in two runs to spearhead the win. He also pitched 2 strong innings to win Game Ball honors.














It was a total team effort with every member of the Cubs reaching base. Alex Tate went 3-for-3, including a double and triple, scoring two runs and knocking in two more. Mick Madden not only was solid on the mound, but roped a triple, knocking in two runs. Trevor Meyer had a hit and scored a run; Charlie Casey was HBP, walked and scored; Jack Bapst collected two hits while knocking in a run; Blake Byrd walked and scored; Parke Shalon was HBP, walked and scored; and Jordan Bass banged out a clutch hit. The game ended with Jack Bapst snaring a line drive and turning it into a double play.
