Ted Taylor stepped into the
manager of the Cubs as Don LaMay is suffering from a bad back and came out as
the only undefeated manager of the season as the Cubs nipped the Marlins
managed by Jeff Simon in one of the best played games of the season by a score
of l7-15.
The Marlins got off to a quick
lead with the score 4-1 at the end of three but the score at the end of four was
5-5 when the Marlins looked like they were putting a win on hold putting up five
in the fifth highlighted by a home run to deep right by Grabb.
Denny Shaffer led off the fifth
for the Cubs with a long home run to right field and that ignited a five run
fifth for the Cubs including two more home runs by Mohan and Capozzi
The Marlins were able to squeeze
one over the plate in the 7th but the Cubs put three up in the 7th & 8th
while the Marlins went scoreless in the 8th setting up a last stand for the
Marlins who were not ready to call it quits. Lee Baker led the 9th off with a
nice single up the middle and Duff Hill hit a long drive that was pulled down in
the deepest part of left field. Hits by Grabb and a triple by Simon brought the
score to 17-15 which was the final as Remington & Hite were unable to
continue the rally.
Definitely was one of the best
played games this year in the National League
The Marlins were led offensively
with Moots 4-4, Simon 4-5 including a triple, and Larry Grabb 3-5 including a
home run.
The Cubs were led by Denny
Shaffer 3-4 including HR, Mike Stepp 3-4 , Walt Leggett 3-4, and Tom Capozzi and
Bernie Mahon who both contributed home runs. Thompson posted his first pitching
win of the season.
