Cubs Come Short to Phillies 11-8

After a hard fought game, and a almost miracle comeback, it didn't seem that the Cubs had most of the control over the game. After twenty-eight at bats, only three hits were made for contact, and were ten base on balls. In the third inning, a home-runer sent the Phillies to a 10-0 lead. Soon, the Cubs pitching caught on fire, only allowing one more run the entire game. The batting also continued to improve. With just a minute left in the time limit, the next inning was called, the Cubs trailing by a score of 11-6. It gave two more runs, but wasn't good enough as the Cubs couldn't pull it out, 11-8. Gameballs were handed out to Phillip, on his outstanding baserunning and sliding in a at first (tie goes to runner) second, and third base. The other, went to Alberto, for having a Behind-the-Back pop fly catch, looking almopst directly into the sun. Great job guys! Our next game is also against the Phillies, Wednesday at 6:30.
