Gee went six innings allowing four runs on four hits. He pitched excellent after giving up the four early runs. He now has a record of 4-0 and continues to improve in every start.

Casey Coleman started for the Cubs and was given a three run lead, but couldn’t hold on to it. He would only go 1.1 innings allowing six runs on seven hits. Coleman wasn’t the only Cub pitcher to struggle. Justin Berg came in to replace Coleman would walked three batters to force in two runs. He threw 12 straight balls without throwing a strike.
