Game Highlights: Late Game Knocks Push Cubs Over White Sox in Game One of Crosstown Series | 6/4/24

back here at Ridley White Socks and the Cubs cross town series coming up game one here tonight with Shota imaga on the mound 02 pitch swung on and miss a three- pitch strikeout to begin the game JS is gone here’s Andrew vaugh and that one’s a single into center field so vaugh after telling the manager I won a play tonight first hit of the ball game for the White Soxs well welcome back Luis Roberts junor after missing 53 games with a hit flexor strain he is back in a white socks uniform a going to miss right there and Robert chasing and comes up empty two down Paul D young the former Cardinal swinging a Miss Even knock of the strike out the young is gone so he pitches around the single here come the Cubs up to hit we go to the bottom of the first Chris flexon going the out and he got up to a great start this year it’s 11th start 13th appearance looking for his third win with an RA of five and a half Corner they ground ball to short and Young making a nice play one down here a sea Suzuki this one a smash to center field Robert Jr at the warning track will make the catch for the second out of the inning so two down it’s Cody Bellinger he’s playing right and he got the strike out for a one two3 first inning nothing nothing game reaching and that one popped up and her going out Nico pulls that one down Cory Lee the batter and a swing and a miss got him on the splitter fourth strikeout for sh I believe he’s gotten all four on the splitter Danny menic the batter on the ground that’s the third and mor picks it up quickly and throws him out in a one two three inning for imanaga Christopher Morel first up good pitch by flexon blew him away with the fast four straight retired by Chris flexon to begin his night of work nothing nothing game second inning here’s Ian hap good pitch three strike outs in a row for flexon so this time he cuts it holds it a little off center trying to get some movement late as you can see H swings under the baseball here’s Michael bus rounder to the right side bu by vaugh and the flip to flexing who has faced the minimum through two no score soosa that punky spin imaga picks it up no bad choice B choice is right he had time he never touched the ball with his bare hand thought he would shovel it glove to glove to Bush and the ball stayed in the glove too long and it flipped up in the air way too high not in time at first that’s an infield single so here’s baldonado with a man on and nobody out line drive swats picks it up with a short hop and starts a 643 gorgeous a tip of the cap from sh imaga to Danby Swanson thank you my friend yeah this is a 10 for difficulty on the catch on the backhand slide yeah it’s yeah I don’t know how else to say it’s a 10 10 as Cory jokes his second at bat tonight swing and a miss struck him out on a splitter five strikeouts for Ean Naga and the Cubs defense picking him up Dan May made that fabulous defensive play in the top of the inning and sure enough he leads it off here in the bottom half onew pitch for flexon and he has got his good stuff going tonight that’s his fourth strikeout all the strikeouts have been swinging Chris didn’t get it up as high as Cory Lee wanted it but it’s still very effective as he throws it by him now Pete Crow Armstrong a weak ground ball to the right side Denny mck will make the play two down Miguel Amaya here’s the line drive base hit left Center off the bat of Miguel Amaya Cubs get their first hit and first base runner even though there’s two outs you see if Nico now can keep the keep the line moving here a little bit swinging a ground ball right to D young at Short he’ll flip it over to mic Force play at second and that’s it for the Cubs here’s Robert he struck out in the first inning Robert Junior this one to right field and it’ll get down the throw to Second as vaugh had to wait gets in safely that’s a very tough play for a base runner because you don’t really know if Bellinger is going to make this catch you see the pick on the backand and also for Crow Armstrong and center field that’s a really good play because he’s backing up Bellinger if Bellinger misses it it’s not going all the way to the ivy so here’s the chance two on nobody out for Paul D young swings that first pitch ground it to Third and it’s Miss play by Morel vau rounding third he will score now they’re going to say the ball is dead it looked like it got out of play yeah it got trapped under the padding and I think on that play I do believe that he’ll score anyway he scores everybody moves up a bag and this is played poorly by Morel who’s not the best third baseman around defensively Andrew taking advantage of it vaugh saw that this was far enough away and it gets stuck right there under the padding now Craig Cel is coming out out and they’re going to discuss the ground rules in his home park goes E5 that’s a for sure now he’s going to explain to Craig counil that everybody is going to stay where they are currently including the run on the board one run in two men in scoring position for Gavin cheats this one popped up and now Maya and that’s a big out one away got to keep focused right here if you’re Cory Lee okay Cory Lee with a line drive to left and it’s going to one hop the wall two runs will score Cory Lee into second and it’s three to nothing white socks here in the fourth second time through has been the charm runs batted in number 14 and 1550 socks have a three-run lead and the socks have taken advantage of an opening that the Cubs gave them with the play at third base Danny mic who we’ve seen play at third base this season the third and Morel picks it up and that one dug out nicely by Bush Lee to third two away so Lee advances the 90 ft now it’s Sosa this one hit well the left going back get out lenine Sosa his first home run of the season and what a big time for it a 5 nothing white socks lead here in the fourth just getting to imaga and here comes the rain as they put the tarp down on the field white socks leaded five to nothing the rain delay lasted a little more than half an hour here at Wrigley Field a man at second base in Cory julks one away Luis Robert Jr at the plate the count is one and two 17 popped up right side Nico horer on the dirt out number two the cleanup man Paul D young at the play reaching center field late start PCA charging in he’s got it one away bottom of the fifth inning Ian hait second base Danby Swanson at the plate drilled left center field that’s going to touch down and that’ll bang up against the ivy hat will Cruise in and score Swanson will trade places it’s an RBI double and it’s 51 the new right-headed pitcher for the White Sox is Justin Anderson inside I believe it hit him in the foot Cody he got hit in the back foot with a breaking ball he tried to lift the foot to avoid being hit but it got him right on the toes he seems to be okay he’ll take his base two down here’s where the Cubs could use a long ball right now from Christopher Morel in the air left center field Christopher Morell Parks it into the bleachers look like a hanging breaking ball there you go that’s what we’re both talking about you called for the long ball and Morel hits his 11th home run this is a bomb to straight left field no doubt home run from the time leaves the bat fits now five to three white socks Tanner Banks the new man on the mound a southpaw for the socks lined into left field that’s a base hit Jules picks it up on a bounce hack with the knock and the inning continues let’s see if there’s a pinch batter coming up from Michael Bush this might be Patrick wisdom wisdom does have four career pinch hit home runs swinging a Fly ball left Center and deep back goes Robert near the wall it’s a home run for wisdom the ball game is tied at five listen to this crowd they wanted points they got points as wisdom sits back on the fifth off speed pitch of the atat and hooks it into the basket and left center field big pinch hit two run bomb for wisdom good work Tyson Miller inning in 2/3 one hit no runs he walked the batter turns it over to Hayden wisneski who’s been very good two down here’s Robert this one a deep shot out to left laera is back on the prow Lis Robert Jr in his first game back goes deep and the White Sox retake the lead third home run of the year he’s now driven in five White Sox fans ecstatic the Cub fans are giving him a standing boo two and one the count on Amaya sends this one the other way to right field and a catch is made by Gavin sheets just lay out it get it we said he’s been working on his defense and sheets flashes the leather well it’s a wonderful play because it came off the bat from a right hand hit which means it’s slicing away from it and if he doesn’t get this it’s at least three and possibly even for a catcher and inside the park home run Binger takes ball four tying one is on potential go-ahead run at the plate Christopher Morell the pitch ground ball to short a scrambling stop and the throw a second not in time D young slid on his knees to glove that ball I’m not sure that he had to but it slowed down his transfer shoveling the ball to mic at second a hustling Bellinger is called safe great play by belly and Morell gets a hit listen to this crowd Ian half the batter and he hits a drive to right field on the Run sheets it gets past him Bellinger scores the slide he scores Cubs lead a two-run double for Ian half Hector nerys will take over so Duke Ellis now the potential tying run at second one away ninth inning got him any chance at all they’re going to challenge this one they are going to take a look was that little swim move yeah he’s out certainly worth the Challenger for the white socks this stage of the game call will be confirmed after riew the call in the field is confirmed the runner is out Chico loses the chall now the socks all of a sudden are down to their last strike po to the air wisdom has it and the Cubs come from behind to beat the White Socks by a score of 7-6
