Game 7



4-3


Carlos Zambrano -vs- Randy Wolf

Zambrano was the old Z that Cubs fans love to see take the hill. Over six innings Zambrano allowed four runs on seven hits, while walking three and striking out five. He did give up an early home run to Prince Fielder...but Z's boys had his back when they exploded for five runs in the top of the fifth.

Aramis Ramirez got a gift single, when a ball fell between three Brewers. Geovany Soto made them pay for the mistake with a long home run to dead center field that tied the game at two each. Just a few batters later Alphonso Soriano singled and Zambrano helped himself out with a single. With those two on base Jeff Baker came up and drove a pitch out of the park to put the Cubs up 3-2, a lead they would not give up.

The Brewers would get two runs back with a tally in the bottom of the fifth and sixth innings.

Jeff Baker was the star of the day though. He came back up in the sixth and gave the Cubs another insurance run with his RBI single. Marlon Byrd would then drive Barker in for the final run of the game on his ninth inning RBI double setting the final score at 7-5 Cubs.

Carlos Marmol came in and struck out two more batters on the way to his third save in four chances this season.
