These Bears CAN play Ball! Cubs look solid in big win over Red Sox The Cubs finally put it all together on June 23 with an 8 - 6 triumph over the Sox. The Bears showed signs all season of clutch defense, great pitching and timely hitting but never seemed to put it all together. But on this night it finally happened and the off season roster moves are starting to pay off. Dave Mahony surprized the Sox by starting the game with 2 strong innings giving up only 1 run. Dave Robertson shut them out in the 3rd and Blaine Mathews finished up to kill off any Sox rally. Robbie Hall took care of business in his mound appearance as usual. The Bears started strong from the get go when they loaded the bases in the first but didn't cash in until the 2nd when they posted a big 5 runs. After the Sox rallied for 2 in the bottom of the 4th, the Cubs pulled ahead for good with 3 runs in the top of the 5th. Blair McConnell went 3 for 3 with an RBI with Blaine Mathews also adding an RBI while going 2 for 2 at the plate. Manager Rustie Greer enjoyed having all his options at the controls for the first time this season. It looks like the blend of vets and new recruits is starting to jell with the Bears now only a game under 500 for the year. Next up is a 12 day layoff which will allow the return of more bodies to the Cubs arsenal. |
