Skidding Cubs Lose 12th Straight
Eláguila Stadia was host to some action-packed drama.

In a tight contest between the Whitby Bats and the Franklin Cubs, Vinny Padilla was the determining factor. The Whitby right-hander sparkled in his team's 3-2 win. The 41-53 Cubs have lost 12 consecutive games.

The climactic moment came in the bottom of the ninth for Whitby. That's when 21-year old shortstop Eduardo Acosta hit a solo home run off Jim Unknown to win the game. The home crowd erupted in celebration.

Acosta attributed the win to his team's "focus and intensity."
