Cubs Score Late, Top Mets, 5-4
Despite a great performance by New York left fielder Marlon Byrd, the Chicago Cubs defeated the Mets by the score of 5-4 at Shea Stadium. Byrd was 2 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Lary Sorensen picked up the win, improving his season record to 6-6. He struck out 1 in 8.1 innings. Chris Leroux converted his 9th save in 9 tries.

The game was at a stalemate until shortstop Phil Rizzuto came to bat in the top of the eighth. Facing New York pitcher Bill Dailey, he hit a 0-1 fastball for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Chicago on top, 5-3.

"The fans pay the tickets and help us do what we do, so we like to put on a show for them," Rizzuto told the Chicago Gazette.

Chicago has now won 8 in a row.
