The Cubs lost 5-1 to the Phillies at Medway High School.
After putting on a 22 run blitz last weekend, the Cubs managed just 5 hits and 1 run this week.
Andy Schultz took the loss, but pitched pretty well allowing 4 runs in 4 innings. Only two of the
runs were earned and with some better defense, Andy could have had a better line. Chris Greig
shut the Phillies down, allowing just 1 unearned run. Earl Carpenter pitched a 1-2-3 ninth with
2 Ks. Andy Luckhardt drove in the only run with a smoked double scoring Earl Carpenter who had
walked to start the 5th inning.

Despite some shaky defense (5 errors leading directly to 3 Phillies runs) there were some nice
plays turned in today. Dennis Fontecchio had a good day at short. In the eighth, there was a
hard shot in the shortstop hole, Dennis got to the ball and threw a bullet a bit low to first.
Brad Adams made the nice scoop to end the inning. Paul Sonnett threw out a Phillies runner
trying to get to second on an overthrow at the plate. Paul threw a strike from the backstop
and Tim Shaver made a great scoop and tag to cut the runner down. Tim Shaver also made a nice
catch going back on a soft line drive in short right field.
Andy Luckhardt drove in the only run with a smoked double scoring Earl Carpenter who had
walked to start the 5th inning. The 5 Cubs hits were from Dennis Fontecchio, Paul Sonnett,
Andy Luckhardt, Brad Adams and Chris Greig.
