Cubs Stay Perfect!

Final Score: Cubs 13, Sox 0

It's great to see the Cubs destroy the Sox and continue to win even though the games are meaningless!

Cubs Starting Line-up Stats:
Soriano: 0-2, BB
Miles: 1-2, BB, Run
Lee: 1-3, Run
Hoffpauir: 2-4, Run, RBI
Ramirez: 0-3, RBI
Fontenot: 1-2, Run, BB
Snyder: 2-5, 2 runs, Grand Slam HR, 4 RBI
Hill: 1-3, 2 RBI
Gathright: 0-3

The Cubs hitters brought their A Game by scoring 13 runs! Miles showed his versatility by playing SS today. Lee, Soriano, and Ramirez all made their second starts of the Spring. Too bad the game was not on TV or Radio at all, it was a great one! Hoffpauir stayed hot with 2 more hits, Micah has started in all 4 games for the Cubs.

Cubs Pitcher:
Heilman: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 4 K
Gregg: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 1 K
Cotts: Win, 1 H, 1 BB, 0 ER
Patton: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 2 K
Kadukora: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 0 ER, 1 K
Waddell: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 ER
Caridad: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 K, 0 ER

Heilman looked solid in his first start of the Spring. If he keeps pitching that way, he could be in our rotation. Good to see Kevin Gregg in Cubbie Blue for the first time. David Patton, the Rule 5 Draft pick, tossed 2 shutout innings. Kadukura, Cotts, Waddell, and Caridad were all also sharp each putting a goose egg on the board.

Cub hitters stats off the bench:
Deeds: 1-2, Run, BB
Blanco: 1-2, Run, 2 RBI
Fox: 0-2, Run
Clevenger: 0-1
Rivas: 0-1, Run, BB
Scales: 2-2 with a run and 3 RBIs
Castillo: 0-1, BB, Run
Fuld: 2-2, Run

Game Highlight: Brad Snyder hit a Grand Slam, part of a 9-run 7th inning for the Cubs.

Player of the Game: Snyder who went 2-5 with 2 runs, 4 RBIs, and a Grand Slam.

Up Next: Cubs VS Padres @ 2:05 CT tomorrow.

The Angels lost to the Brewers, so the Cubs are now the only team in the Cactus League that have yet to lose a game. The Twins are the only undefeated Grapefruit League team.

The Cubs and Sox still have 4 more meetings this Spring!
