Dealing Aces @ Culver

In a game with 1st place implications - Ahern and Maganza didn't disappoint.

Both starters would go 8 strong innings holding down the 2 most explosive offences in the league.

Jaime Miranda led off the game with a home run (1) on a 3-2 pitch. After that Jeff Ahern would set down 12 straight Cubs en route to an 8 inning (7K,0bb,10h,2run) masterpiece. Matching Ahern for the Cubs was Starter Mike Maganza (W 3-0,8inn,1r,6h,2K,3bb). Mikey worked out of trouble on a number of occasions allowing only 6 singles for his 3rd win of the season.

With the score knotted at 1, the Cubs got an infield hit by Kirk Mayer (2-3,r) to start the top of the 8th. Mayer came around to score on Steve Benson's (2-3,2 2b,rbi) 2nd double of the game.
