It wasn't exactly the result the Cubs expected in their season opener following a tremendously successful spring training. Before a standing room-only gathering at the Double-A Field on a picture perfect Thursday evening for baseball, the Cubs came up on the short end of a 7-4 game against the Mets. 
Even in defeat, there's no denying the talent on this team. The stars at the plate included Brandon Shockey, who knocked in a pair of runs; Alex Tate banged out two hits and had an rbi; Charley Casey came through with a triple to the fence; Mick Madden roped a double; Jack Bapst had a key rbi; Parke Schalon ripped
a base hit and reached on a walk; Parker Garrett with a base knock and Jack Fiscella with a fabulous ten-pitch at bat that led to a walk and the Cubs first run of the game.Defensively, Mick made a sensational play at the plate, tagging out a runner; Charley had a nice catch in the outfield; and Jack Fiscella with a look-what-I-found snag at third base.
Parker, Mick and Trevor Meyer turned in solid performances on the mound.
The Cubs now look ahead to Saturday's 3:30 pm game against the Dodgers. Here's hoping the weather holds up.
