RmembrZito75 Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 "Sexson's homerun in the 11th breaks the 3-3 tie" Chicago Cubs (3-1) at Milwaukee Brewers (2-2) It was a good day for both pitchers on the mound, Mark Prior and Claudio Vargas. Claudio Vargas had the better day though. Vargas went 7 innings, while allowing 7 hits and 2 earned runs. Prior was just as effective. He went 7 innings, while allowing 3 earned runs on 8 hits. 2 of the Brewers 3 runs came off the bat of Rickie Weeks. Rickie Weeks belted a 2-run homerun in the 5th inning, his second of the year. Also, the Cubs bats came alive late in the 9th when they were down 1. The game wouldn't have gotten into extras if Alfonso Soriano hadn't hitten a solo homerun in the 9th inning off of Francisco Cordero. With two outs in the 11th and Reliever Ben Shouse in, the pressure was on for the newly aquired Richie Sexson, who hasn't proved himself with a homer this whole season. Sexson belted a 445 foot towering homerun to right field, which proved to be the game winner as Mark Lowe finished off the bottom of the 11th to seal the deal for the Cubs. Bob Howry got the win for the Cubs and Ben Shouse was tagged with the loss for the Brew-Crew. Also, Mark Lowe picked up his 3rd save of the season in as many chances. Game Highlights J.J. Hardy was caught stealing in the 3rd inning Aramis Ramirez hit his 4th homerun of the season in the 4th inning Soriano saves the game in the 9th by hitting a solo homerun off of Closer Francisco Cordero Richie Sexson hits the game-winning homerun in the 11th inning off of Brian Shouse Mark Lowe seals the deal with his 3rd save in the 8 pitch 11th inning Player of the Game Richie Sexson- 3 for 5, Game-Winning HR (1), RBI (3), Run Scored Click Here for Box Score Upcoming Game Chicago Cubs (4-1) at Milwaukee Brewers (2-3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RmembrZito75 Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 Chicago Cubs Transactions These two trades upgraded me in the already depth, but lacking talent Outfield Position. They should help me gain a good outfield for the future and for now in Carlos Beltran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
