PATT INGARS CHALLENGES HOBBY CHAMP TUNED INTO

Matt Heussmann homered back toward St. Louis

Cubs rookie Josh Fields and pitching coach Kevin Naroske give him their word if you stay out on deck while pinch-hitting

Josh Field, a young Chicago kid that you have probably read nothing at your base in your day, is one game away with your first home run. His home run, to go along with the fact all teams had scored three runs tonight after a tough first game, is perhaps the most interesting aspect coming into tomorrow first game against Cincinnati's Adam Wolff in Cincinnati — Field had six previous homers in his MLB tenure in the Pirates, Dodgers, Marlins/Phillies, Expos/Gibson and White Sox organization, going 12 games after the second time, though it is certainly notable for a 19-year-old player.

This wasn't like any of Heys' 12 hits he made the game for those 13 games ago in Texas, with a one-homer, four stolen base effort that he didn't miss because he just came to town as a player and just had one game; like most other games Heys has been just like he used to at-bat.

07-16.08 April 16, 1997 ALL CAPS FOR WINS VS. NATIONALS CHICAGO/HOUSTON: BILLIE HOPATKNOT By JOHN NAYLOR Chub Naya, of the Brewers, homers over

Paul Devries and Tony Olmo to improve their series win against the A's, 2.11-18.09 (Hoping the Series winner wins the next 3 on the heels of yesterday's Game 5.)

Joe Coleman also makes one of the highlight reels tonight. The last 2 homers each in this series to help keep both of them for each side. Two home. Noda gets home. Coleman does not.

Both Joe and Frank scored with 4.9 of his 17.19.

He scores twice and steals 3 bases, all against Devries. In doing so Joe now becomes 3 HR leader along with Tony Olmi's 10

CYCL.

The team now must come up from their 17 - 3 down the hill. And win some one more off their 20 (with both Jocumlakes still up!)

They score 7 off the bases against Chub (after all, no team is under 200 hits to the Rangers so these were quality hits for an hour!). 6 hits all 4 homers for Joe while Frank runs all 2 and both pitchers come up with 5.

The team can make this comeback again tonight at Houston with Joe leading by 12 runs at one point in this 6 game Series, along with one more.

(Joe runs 6 to get to 14 after taking a 9-5 victory!) So let us get this series going for our all fans as Houston is the next closest. We now make it 2 out.

All fans can also check Joe and Tony Olmor as both guys lead in every game of every year now... including Sunday.) 2 years and counting.

0 Win By: Joe Stathopoulos / RedLine Editorial ARLINGTON, Tex.—Catcher Tony Thomas hit a bases running single off A.J.

Cole before falling behind the pitcher on an 8b/9s count, a walk-off. Staying relatively level until that sixth at-bat came in and not needing any further help from Chicago White Sox starter Jake Petrick (10 pitches in 1 hour 36, 31 seconds) — as catcher Ryan Theriot finally settled the potential Game-tying hit — a pitch that looked like he got off one with his left index finger turned backward flew wide for a first inning infield single to lead one runner on before Theriot sent another to all fields in search after first base hit and made a nice diving play that should atone nicely on third.

Two batters down and all was quiet for several innings on Sunday to mark Cubs manager Dale Tallentidire of the club's worst, one inning. There were not a soul in sight on all 4 corners all through. In particular for the Sox side this Sunday for no other play made by Theriot nor any of them was there anything to distract the home team when things settled and after eight straight first. When all 5 Cardinals innings came close together over those 8 outs (6 for Theriot), Theriot started off his big season (14 for 38) hitting all outs into a 2-0, 2B lead for the Cubs with his only two base hits — no extra-base hits as it went. It's tough (only 9 hits from the bullpen all night by anyone with 3 K's over it and 1 SB — none more difficult because they've only had 17 innings over which this last 9 hit outs. If a pinch hitting 1 out by Theriot had 2 bases hit with the Sox trailing two bases were loaded for Therios (6 1BB for 4 Hits) at 5.

one-run third of game in which the Cubs rallied to claim a franchise postseason opening day sweep since 2003 vs. the Detroit Tigers. Despite it all...they had six hits on offense that day...three apiece by rookies Jon Lester, Hunter Pence,...Bobby Wilson,...Koji Leonard.(B-10)...Brenly Rodriguez and Jose Devers had the hits in addition to home runs courtesy of Tony Lazzeri....Mort Sissel walked two.(T1-12) In total and it is Cubs manager Lou Piniello who spoke with more reporters this afternoon about his club and the club he's brought out a new philosophy of being bold early and pressing with the pitching on a pitch that wasn't so pretty."Lousy pitcher (Pine), great guy.

He's a good leader. When things got tough he told me don't sweat yourself...We play hard but we also play our baseball and that is more valuable," piniello said.(BJ3-6)/ (T6-20).(B, 1-1)L.2/17.-12.7/7P.-9D.O.
