The Cubs entered the ninth inning trailing 4 to 5 with 3 outs remaining. first-up is Koyie Hill flied to center (1 down), up comes a pinch hitter for Aaron Heilman in Reed Johnson who hit a fastball right back up the middle. Next up is "the man of the hour" Alfonso Soriano who hit a tape measure home-run to left field to give the Cubs the lead 6-5. After the Cubs made two outs, Carlos Marmol came in to close and did a great job. Cubs Win, Cubs Win!
I'll have some notes later in the day.
