Cubs Trip Mustangs, 7-4, in Extra Innings
The Cubs earned a hard-fought, 7-4 win in 10 innings at Dehler Park. To do so required withstanding a fine effort from Billings pitcher Jimmy Amaral. Amaral went 5.2 innings and allowed no runs. Carlos Cruz sewed up the save, his 2nd. Chicago (Rk+)'s record now stands at 43-26, placing them second in the East.

Chicago (Rk+) needed the clutch hitting of Victor Barraza to notch the win. The first baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Cubs on top, 7-4. For the game, Barraza had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"There's a warrior mentality with this team," said Cubs manager Jose Agramonte.
