Cubs Top Hustle, 5-0, to Begin R2
Chicago (Rk+) Cubs manager Valentino Garzelli knew it was a gamble to give the start to a rookie. It was a good gamble to take.

Pitching in front of a hostile crowd, 23-year-old right-hander Ramon Mireles silenced the host Las Vegas (Rk+) Hustle at Goliaths Ballpark. The Cubs shut out the Hustle by a final score of 5-0, to give the Cubs a 1-0 advantage in the best-of-7 Round 2.

The Hustle had trouble solving Mireles, who surrendered no runs on 4 hits over 7.1 innings.

"It's so much easier when you throw good pitches," said Mireles.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Friday, September 24th , 2106.
