We rode our bicycles 150 miles to see this game. They better win!
And they did, blowing out the Pirates 14-5. Seven runs in the second inning meant it would be an easy night. Keegan Thompson pitched six strong innings.
The ninth inning was interesting as the Pirates had a position player take the mound. Second baseman Diego Castillo was very wild and the Cubs loaded the bases without a hit. Alfonso Rivas then blasted a grand slam. Cubs reliever Daniel Norris was awful in the bottom of the ninth, giving up four runs before finally ending the game.
We had nice seats in a fairly empty ballpark. We head back for the Thursday afternoon wrap up. Hopefully the result will be the same.
Now that's what I call a bike ride. Congratulations on the win!
ReplyDeletePlenty of good seats available! Glad you got to see a win, since I believe they dropped the Thursday game.
