Michael Wacha went 7 solid innings at Leones Field as the smoking-hot Caracas
Leones came back dramatically to top the struggling Palatine Cubs by the
score of 3 to 2.
 
Caracas came up with the deciding runs in the 9th inning scoring 3 runs using
3 hits.  After an out was recorded, Mike Trout was the sparkplug when he drew
a walk.  Aaron Judge followed and he laced a base-hit.  Javier Baez then
lined a single knocking in a run.  Nico Hoerner stepped in and he drew a walk
to load the bases.  Tyler Stephenson stepped into the box and drew a walk
bringing home one more runner.  One out later, Bryce Harper came to the plate
and delivered a one-base hit giving Caracas the win as 52,369 happy fans
joyfully celebrated.  The game was a scoreless duel until the 8th inning.
 
The victory was credited to Steven Matz(3-1) who went 1 and 1/3 innings,
allowing no runs. Greg Weissert(2-3) was given the loss in relief.  
 
'Wow, that was fun!', Matz said following the game.  'Once in a while you play
a game that reminds you just why you got into this business to begin with!'
