Cubs Take Tight Tangle
The Cubs grabbed a win, 4-3, at Franklin Park, overcoming a fine effort from Buffalo pitcher Tom Donnelly. Donnelly went 5.2 innings and allowed 1 run. The win was credited to Rich Sargent in relief. His record improves to 1-4. Dave Figley took the loss. The Cubs have stumbled out of the gate, getting only their 5th win in 21 games.

The Cubs used some clutch hitting to beat the Bellflowers, a good example being the at-bat of Jerry Kraft in the bottom of the eighth. With two down, Kraft gave his team the lead, 4-3, when he hit a run-scoring single.

Kraft called the win a testament to his team's "tenacity."
