Cubs Knock Off Cincinnati, 8-4
The Chicago (N) Cubs handed the Cincinnati Reds a loss at Great American Ball Park. The final score was 8-4. Major production was provided by Tim Walsh for Chicago (N). In addition to his 2 singles and 1 home run, he scored 1 run and drove in 1. He also added 1 walk. Don Black, the winning pitcher, is now 9-7. He went 5 innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits, while fanning 2 and walking 1. The save was Ernie Carter's, his 1st.

Chicago (N) used a well-timed hit by Steve Shepard to capture the win. The second baseman socked a run-scoring double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Cubs ahead, 5-3. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"We believe in ourselves and we're willing to work hard. It's a good combination," Shepard told the Chicago (N) Herald.

With the win over Cincinnati, the Cubs improved to 53-55.
