Cubs good hosts, too

July 8th, 2009



During a cold night cap the New Zealand Black Sox continue their hitting prowess. In game one New Zealand hit 8 homeruns to set the pace for a victory against the Bridgeport Braves, but in game two they relied on the long ball only once, instead they scratched out singles and doubles to help sweep the doubleheader. New Zealand scored 3 runs in the first inning on a Travis Wilson homerun shot. The Cubs responded in the bottom half of the inning with Grant Baechler reaching on an infield single, Bob Gillow reaching on a fielders choice and Adam Hiller singling. Paul Algar had difficulty picking up signs and proceeded to hit Brad Thomson to load the bases. Another cross up allowed both Bob Gillow and Adam Hiller to score on the same pass ball, while Thomson moved to third. New Zealand continued to show their consistent hitting ability and took advantage of several Cubs miscues that lead to 6 unearned runs. The Cubs were only able to scratch 2 more runs in the final 4 innings. Ryan French took the loss tossing all five innings. Final Score 18-4. The KW Cubs would like to thank Kitchener Fastball Promotions for inviting us to take part in the special evening.
