Cubs Rally Falls Short


The Cubs rallied from 8-0 down against the Orioles to close within 3-runs in the 5th inning, only to fall 10-5. It was far from the Cubs best effort of the season, but they did have their moments and shinning stars. Trevor Meyer and Parker Garrett each had two hits and two rbi's, while Alex Tate and Charley Casey each came through with big hits. Blake Byrd, Parke Schalon, Jordon Bass, Brandon Shockley and Trevor scored the Cubs runs. Mick Madden, Trevor and Parker handled the chores on the mound, with Trevor's ball-to-strike ratio 9:20 and Parker's 11:29. The two Jacks - Bapst and Fiscella - also played hard in defeat.

Charley turned in the game's defensive gem, an amazing scoop at first base. Charley was awarded the Game Ball.

The Cubs next game is 5:30 pm Tuesday evening against the Red Sox on the Double A Field.
