The Cubs beat the Red Sox 6-0 in a very close game. The score was 2-0 after 4 innings. The story
of this game was Tom Barnes who went the distance for the shutout allowing just 1 hit. Tom had 6
Ks and 2 walks, his 3rd pickoff in two games and he didn't allow a single Red Sox to reach third base.
This was Tom's second consecutive 7 inning 1 hitter! On offense, the Cubs were led by Paul Sonnett's
2-2 day and Eddie Murray's 2-3 with an RBI and run. Dennis Fontecchio scored twice and smacked his
team leading 10th hit. Mark Grogan had a key sac fly to deep center in the fifth for some breathing
room.

Defensively, there weren't many great plays, but Bruce Diaz made several nice plays at third. Brad
Adams blocked one low throw and picked it up before the runner reached first for a big out. The one
Red Sox batter to reach by hit was immediately erased on a nice 1-6-3 double play, Tom to Dennis
Fontecchio to Chris Greig.
