Cubs - Cactus League Update

Cubs win over Sox 13-0 today.
The Cubs won over the White Sox today to move to 4-0 in Cactus league play. Aaron Heilman, making his first Cactus League appearance, struck out four of the seven batters he faced and gave up one hit in two innings.

Brad Snyder hit a grand slam to spark a nine-run seventh, his first spring homer. Koyie Hill hit a two-run double with two outs in the fourth for the Cubs, the only National League team to begin spring unbeaten.

My new favorite, Micah Hoffpauir hit an RBI single to raise his spring total to eight RBIs. Hoffpauir has played in every game but will get Sunday off. "It's my birthday," said the infielder, who turns 29.

Kevin Gregg, who is competing with Carlos Marmol for the closer's job, gave up one hit and struck out one in one inning. New of note, today Marmol reversed his decision on WBC - stating that he will now play for the Dominican Republic in the WBC.

Today's game was played at the Cubs Spring Training Park, a HoHoKam Park, in Mesa, AZ before a record crowd of 13,010 - more than double than the 6,000 that were at HoHoKam to see the Cubs vs the Brewers on Thursday.
