Rays win 5-4 behind the arm of Jim Becker and some clutch hitting by Fred Mcintosh and recently concussed Jan Friedman. Mark Dabney had 2 hits on 1 leg and deserves kudos for even playing! Game 2 Wednesday Night 6 pm at the Bob.
Jim Becker is the ultimate gamer! A complete game win on a bad hamstring! Jon Martin was the hard luck loser for the Cubbies. He pitched 5-1/3 strong innings and deserved a better fate. Some base running blunders and errors led to the loss. The Rays (with Becker on the hill) are too god of a team to survive those mistakes. The Cubs are prepared to put forth a better effort on Wednesday night at the Bob to hopefully even the series. Icing the groin as I type this!
24 - 3 . . . OUCH! That is a beat down even on the football field. Now the Dodgers need to travel to Kingston and come home with a W, after that. Good luck Boyz!
