Cubs Notch Their First Win

Starting pitcher Charley Casey was sharp on the mound throwing two shutout innings, and Parker Garrett worked his way out of a bases loaded jam in the 5th, to lead the Cubs to their first win of the season, 6-4 over the Dodgers.
The Cubs were forced to rally from behind. Trailing 4-0 going to the bottom of the 3rd inning, the Cubs rallied for three runs, keyed by a big base hit by Charley. The Cubs added three more in the bottom of the 4th, Alex Tate coming through with a clutch rbi. Alex was awarded the Game Ball. Jack Bapst scored two runs with Brandon Shockley, Jack Fiscella, Charley and Parker each scoring a run. Parke Schalon, Jordan

Bass, Blake Byrd and Mick Madden all played key roles in the victory.
The Cubs now look ahead to Opening Ceremonies on Friday night. Their next game is 3:30 pm Saturday on the Double A Field against the Orioles.
