Cubs Even With Mustangs After Home Win
The Chicago (Rk+) Cubs and the Billings Mustangs will take the Round 2 to a decisive 7th game. Chicago (Rk+) quieted the Billings offense in a must-win situation to take the game, 2-1, at Harbingers Ballpark and force the series into one final game. Chicago (Rk+) left-hander John Richard threw 6.2 innings of 4-hit ball.

With scoring opportunities rare, the Cubs had to cash in when they had the chance. One such opportunity presented itself in the bottom of the fourth, when third baseman Dario Alvares hit a run-scoring single. The single came off Jay Capuano and made the score 1-0, Cubs. Alvares went 2-3 with 2 singles.

"I really like what we did out there today," Alvares said after the game.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Harbingers Ballpark in King of Prussia.
