Subject: Cubs @ Reds, game 2

Another tough pitcher with a stellar ERA took the mound today, and fared little better than Paul Erickson had.  This time it was Cincinnati's Ewell Blackwell (7 IP, 11 baserunners, 4 runs).
 
Chicago took a 2-0 lead in the second; it required 3 hits and Cincy's failing to get a runner at the plate on a fielders choice.  Meanwhile CHN starter Frank Papish took a perfect game into the 4th (not just a no-hitter, a perfect game) despite the fact that his team had committed an error and was about to commence hemorrhaging many more.  The game remained perfect because the 1 error that had been made was merely on a foul popup.
 
However, with 2 outs in the CIN 4th a blown-x play put a man on base and Pat Seerey came up.  Seerey rolled in his 1 column and, his opponent being the Cubs, was not about to miss a home run.  Tie game.  Sound familiar?
 
Papish followed with an error of his own, the third blown-x in the space of 8 batters by the #1 defense in the N.L., but escaped the jam with only the 2 undeserved runs scoring.
 
The visitors retook the lead in the 6th when we loaded the bases with 0 outs and -- of course! -- promptly hit into a 6-2-3 DP.  But Papish refused to let the rally end and delivered a 2-run single before sacrificing himself and being thrown out at second to end the inning.
 
Seconds later the Reds cut our lead to 4-3 but that margin held up until -- what else is new? -- the bottom of the 9th.  A leadoff double on yet another blown-x (by our alleged defensive sub in RF) became the tying run when a 1-out sac fly delivered him plateward and we proceeded to extra innings.
 
Surely this would work to Cincy's advantage because the Cubs have the most extra-inning losses of any N.L. team, and the game was likely to be decided by a single run -- another big advantage for any Cubbie opponent.
 
But the Cubs were the only team to get anyone into scoring position in overtime, failing to score in the 11th and 13th but finally getting a mighty sac fly in the 14th to prevail by the count of 5-4.  The teams combined for 7 errors, and although the Cubs coughed up numerous blown-x runs the only one scored as unearned was the one in the 14th when Waitkus led off the frame with a single+error on Benny Zientara and later scored the winning run.
 
Alan
